Our Farm Shop, open Thursday, Friday & Saturday
Sillfield Farm Shop is located on the farm in the old cow byre where you can find all those good foods you heard about. Everything where possible comes from a free range home and whatever we didn’t grow ourselves (like cattle and poultry), is locally sourced. We firmly support small businesses. What you buy here is all fresh meat that, unless needs maturing, is sold the same week. For a list of our products see below.
The farm shop although 800 feet above sea level is less than 5 MINUTES from the M6 for directions please see 'Find Us'
The shop opening times are:

Sillfield Farm Products
You already know that we are in the beautiful Lake District, that we care for our animals throughout their lives, and that they roam free and eat good food. It’s all important. Because, after all, that is the beginning of what end up on your plate.
As for our products, absolutely everything here is done by hand and all the meat of the pig is used. Some of it is sold fresh and the rest is turned into Dry Cured Bacon,Cumberland Ham and Sausages, Cumberland Black Pudding and ready to eat meat.
TRADITIONAL CUMBERLAND SAUSAGES are our speciality or signature dish especially as we have as a County just acheived PGI protected status .The 44 th product in the country to do so and the only sausageto have Geographical Protection.
The majority of our products have a very high meat content and they are very low on preservatives. It means a shorter shelf life, perhaps, but much better taste.
