Amerton Farm is a place I have frequented often as a child and have continued to do so into my mid-30s. I used to come here to pet the animals and marvel and the giant pig they had on site. Now though I go for another reason. The Food.
Amerton Farm Shop: Local Produce and Sustainability
Farm shops are known for producing quality produce and meat, and Amerton Farm is no different. At Amerton Farm Shop, food miles are a priority. This means that if the food isn’t produced on-site, then it’s still sourced as locally as possible to provide customers with a fresh quality product from Staffordshire or within a 40-mile radius, including nearby counties.
This approach supports sustainability, ensuring the local economy thrives and recycling efforts are maintained, which in this day and age is a criterion all businesses are having to take seriously.
