Now I am sad. This has appeared on my screen, from our Farm Shop.
Hello everyone, this is truly a hard message to post to you all.
But after some emotional talks & some extremely careful thoughts & consideration, we have made the decision that on October 31st 2026.
We shall be closing our doors at BHF FARM SHOP for the final time at 2pm.
This is due to a rise in costs & the constant battle with the prices at the Supermarkets ( Which unfortunately as a sole trader you will never win ) which has understandably had a knock on affect in regards customer flow.
It's very hard for small businesses to make enough money to cover costs. I enjoyed going there to buy some treats. If you have a Farm shop near you, try and make time for a visit.
Catch ya later. Toodle pip. ilona

Looks like a nice shop. I do like to go and browse around those sort of shops but I usually can’t afford anything. Labour wants us to stay poor,.. small business will all very soon be a thing of the past, sadly. Charlotte.
ReplyDeleteIt is so difficult for locally owned shops to compete. Our “high street” as it’s called in your area has undergone a lot of tarting up and lots of new local specialty shops have gone in. I do hope they can make a go of it. Several eating places and a microbrewery. Shops with all things made of natural honey. Music stores, a refurbished bike shop. Coffee places with outside seating . It’s looking really really nice. Still a little riff raffe hanging about. But for the most part the council has worked hard at making it the way it was 50 years ago. Does the heart good.
