Square Farm Shop is a family-run business focusing strongly on traditional farming methods. The business incorporates a flourishing farm shop selling home-grown organically produced foods as well as an expanding range of selected local produce from the Wye Valley and surrounding areas. The family farming business was built from scratch by Mr and Mrs EH and KV Whittall and has been established at Square Farm since 1978. Today it is owned and run by their son Robert and also provides a home for Mrs Whittall in her retirement and another of her sons Richard. Square Farm operates as a traditional mixed farm incorporating cattle sheep pigs chickens ducks and geese. Cereal and root crops are grown for animal feed and an increasing number of vegetable crops are produced to stock the farm shop. The shop also sells our traditionally reared beef lamb and pork alongside the very popular eggs from our flock of 200 unrestricted free-ranging poultry.
