The same family has farmed Little Town at Thornley near Preston for three generations. Nestled on the edge of the Forest of Bowland, with breathtaking views of the fells, this family dairy farm specialises in premium products made from the milk of their RSPCA accredited herd.

Dairy produce includes crème fraiche, smoothie drinks and farmhouse ice cream in mouth watering flavours, as well as luxury thick and creamy yoghurts. A wide range of cheeses from the region (including organic) and fresh local milk, eggs and farmhouse butter are also available from the farm shop.

The farm stocks a full range of farm assured beef, lamb, pork and chicken, as well as turkey and duck at certain times of year. All beef is Aberdeen Angus, reared on the family farm and hung for between 2 and 3 weeks to give maximum flavour. Pork is from outdoor reared Saddle Back pigs, free to roam the fields, resulting in extraordinary flavour. Their own lambs, grazing on the Bowland fells, produce top quality meat, and there is local Goosnargh chicken and award winning dry cured bacon.

The farm shop also sells freshly baked bread, cakes and pies, a wide range of jams, preserves and local honey, as well as chutneys, pickles and sauces. Logs, kindling and locally produced charcoal are also available.

If you can't get to the farm shop why not check out Booths, Tesco and Sainsburys where items from the Little Town Dairy range can be found in the dairy cabinets.
