At Barton Grange, wherever possible, we buy from carefully selected local suppliers to bring you the finest fresh food available in Lancashire.

We believe in the wonderful food heritage of our nearby rural communities and many of our suppliers have their premises or farms within 20 miles of our Farm Shop. We enjoy getting to know the local personalities behind the produce we sell. They run their family businesses with pride and passion, founded on years of expertise and knowledge.

Val and her family at Williams bakery, in Preston, have been baking traditional biscuits and cakes for over 40 years. Our customers love their delicious bakes, including the mouth-watering Eccles Cakes shown here, fresh from the oven.

Paul Ainscough’s mission is to bring you tasty condiments, handmade with love. He makes his amazing Fatjax chutneys and relishes by hand, in Leyland, using the freshest, tastiest ingredients. You have to try them!

Matt Watts makes his fabulous Lancashire Cheesecakes in Blackpool, using locally sourced ingredients. Each individual cheesecake is made and decorated by hand to look and taste exquisite. Please visit their website to find out more – www.lancashirecheesecake.co.uk

At Blackpool Tomatoes, Joe Amatiello doesn’t need a colour chart to know exactly the right time to pick. Because he is just 17 miles from us, his plump tomatoes always reach us fresh, firm and a perfect shade of red.

The Kenyon family at Dewlay have been making cheese for over 50 years, just 3 miles from here at Garstang. Checking the flavour and maturity of their delicious cheeses has become second nature to Richard Kenyon and his colleagues.

Lathams mouth watering cakes and desserts are hand made at their premises in Fulwood, less than 6 miles away. Production manager Claire makes sure that they reach us fresh on the day they were made.

Shirley Roberts makes her delicious pies by hand at her own bakery in Pilling, just 13 miles away. She uses local ingredients whenever possible, including potatoes grown in the fields surrounding the bakery.

Just over 20 miles away, James Buck is proud of the quality of the vegetables he grows on his farm at Hesketh Bank. His cauliflowers, cabbages and sprouts are delivered here fresh, just hours after they were picked and packed in the field.
