The write-up
What a farm shop website needs to answer
A farm shop website is mostly answering four questions before anyone gets in the car: are you open, what’s in, where exactly are you, and is it worth the drive. Most farm shop sites miss at least one of them. The hours are last year’s, the “seasonal produce” page was written in spring three years ago, and the map drops people at the wrong gate.
The fix isn’t a bigger website. It’s a small one that stays accurate. We build a clear homepage with today’s opening hours, a short in-season list you can change by sending us an email, and a proper page on where your produce comes from. If you run a café, it gets a menu people can read on a phone. If you take Christmas orders, there’s a pre-order form with collection dates and closing dates in plain sight.
The provenance story matters more than it looks. People choose a farm shop over a supermarket because they can see where the food comes from. So we write about your farm, your family and the local producers you stock, and use photographs taken on the farm rather than stock images of someone else’s vegetables.
Then there’s being found. Visitors search “farm shop near me” on their phones, often on a patchy signal. Fast pages, accurate structured data and a Google Business Profile that matches the website make the difference between appearing in that list and being left off it.
Shropshire & Powys borders
Websites for farm shops in Shropshire and Powys
Farm shops here sell to two crowds at once: locals doing a weekly shop and visitors on a day out in the hills. The website has to work for both.
Shropshire
Shrewsbury
Shoppers from town drive out for quality and a morning out. Clear directions, parking and café details turn a search into a visit.
Shrewsbury page → Shropshire OswestryClose to the border and the A5, so passing trade matters. Opening hours and a pinned map do most of the work.
Oswestry page → Powys WelshpoolSurrounded by livestock farms, so meat boxes and local beef and lamb are a strong draw. Show the farm behind them.
Welshpool page → Powys NewtownCustomers come in from scattered villages up the Severn valley. Make the weekly what's-in list and hours easy to check.
Newtown page → Shropshire LudlowLudlow's reputation for food brings visitors who plan around producers. A provenance-led site gets you onto their list.
Ludlow page → Powys KnightonWalkers on Offa's Dyke and the hills pass through. A clear café menu and opening times catch them before they move on.

Questions from farm shops
Can I update what's in season myself?
You can, but most people simply email us a line like “strawberries are in, asparagus finished” and we update the site, usually the same day. Ten changes a month are included.
Can customers pre-order Christmas turkeys online?
Yes. We set up a clear pre-order form with collection dates and any deposit details, and orders come straight to your inbox. If you’d rather take payment online we can link to a payment page.
Do you take photos?
We use your own photos where you have them, and can source suitable licensed photography where you don’t. Real photos of your produce and farm always work best, and we’ll tell you which ones to take.
Will my site show up when people search for farm shops nearby?
Every site is built with the foundations local search depends on: accurate opening hours and location in structured data, fast pages and clear area information. We’ll also help you keep your Google Business Profile consistent with the site.
How much does it cost?
£47 a month, including design, writing, hosting and ten changes a month. There’s no setup fee and no contract.
