One of the pleasures of staying in East Yorkshire is discovering the wealth of local produce available right on your doorstep. From fresh baked goods to locally sourced meats and seasonal ingredients, the area around Beverley is home to a variety of excellent farm shops and independent producers.

Staying at Pasture House Holiday Cottages gives you the perfect opportunity to shop locally, enjoy high-quality food, and experience the region in a more authentic way.

Why Visit Farm Shops During Your Stay?

Farm shops offer something different from supermarkets — a chance to buy fresh, locally sourced products while supporting small, independent businesses.

For guests staying in self-catering accommodation, they’re especially useful. You can pick up everything you need for a relaxed breakfast, a simple lunch, or a home-cooked evening meal, all while enjoying produce that reflects the local area.

It’s also a great way to slow down and make food part of your holiday experience.

Visit Cranswick Farm Shop

Located just a short drive from the cottages, Cranswick Farm Shop is a convenient and popular choice for guests staying at Pasture House Holiday Cottages.

The farm shop offers a wide selection of fresh, locally sourced produce, making it ideal for picking up ingredients for your stay. Whether you’re planning a relaxed breakfast, a light lunch, or an evening meal at the cottage, you’ll find plenty of quality options.

Stop at Drewtons Farm Shop on Your Journey

Drewtons Farm Shop is slightly further afield but well worth a visit — and particularly convenient if you’re travelling via the motorway.

Located near the A63/M62 route, it makes an ideal stop either on your way to Pasture House Holiday Cottages or on your journey home. Guests often enjoy breaking up their journey here, picking up local produce, and enjoying the café before continuing on.

Set on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds, it can also be combined with a scenic drive or countryside walk if you have more time.

Perfect for Self-Catering Stays

One of the key benefits of staying at Pasture House Holiday Cottages is the flexibility to cook and dine how you choose.

Farm shops make this even more enjoyable. You can plan meals around fresh, local ingredients, try something new, or keep things simple with high-quality basics. It’s all part of the relaxed, at-your-own-pace experience that self-catering offers.

Seasonal Flavours in Spring

April is a lovely time to explore local food, with spring produce starting to appear. Lighter meals, fresh ingredients, and longer days all contribute to a more relaxed way of eating during your stay.

Whether it’s a leisurely breakfast, a picnic-style lunch, or a quiet evening meal at the cottage, local produce adds something special to your break.

A Taste of East Yorkshire to Take Home

Farm shops are also a great place to pick up something to take home with you. From locally made jams and chutneys to baked goods and treats, they offer a reminder of your time in East Yorkshire.

Many guests enjoy bringing back a small selection of local products — a simple way to extend the experience of their stay.

Enjoy Local Food at Your Own Pace

A visit to a farm shop isn’t just about shopping — it’s about enjoying the slower pace of a countryside break. With quality ingredients and the freedom of self-catering, you can make food a relaxed and enjoyable part of your stay.

At Pasture House Holiday Cottages, it’s all part of experiencing East Yorkshire in a way that feels both comfortable and memorable.
