Westlands Farm Shop has officially opened on Winchester High Street, marking a significant milestone for the family-run business, which has served the Hampshire community from its original Wickham location for more than two decades.
Among the first attendees was the Mayor of Winchester, Russell Gordon-Smith, who came along to officially open the store. He said:
“I am absolutely delighted to welcome this new shop to the high street in Winchester. I’m really pleased this farm shop will be bringing fresh food from selected sources into the city centre - it’s something we really do need.”
The new shop boasts a team of local talent who share a passion for sustainable farming and high-quality produce. This team is led by Head Butcher Suzi Howard, who brings five years of butchery experience from the original Wickham shop.
The Grade II listed property at 154 High Street recently underwent renovations to create a welcoming space that reflects the charm and quality associated with Westlands Farm Shop, retaining original features like wooden beams.
Graham Collett, owner of Westlands Farm Shop, said:
“We’re thrilled to finally open our doors in Winchester, and the support we’ve received from both the local community and our loyal customers from Wickham has been overwhelming.”
“Visitors can expect to find diverse and quality offerings, with highlights such as British free-range meats, daily-baked bread, and freshly harvested fruits and vegetables sourced within a 40-mile radius."
About: Westlands Farm Shop has been nurturing local supply chains and supporting small businesses in the community since opening in 2001. The business is dedicated to ethical and sustainable farming and aims to reduce plastic waste.
