Our Retail Business
We first started retailing in 1983, selling a selection of horse feeds. The business has grown steadily over the years and continues to be run by the Cook family, together with their team of knowledgeable staff. We have become established as one of the leading Midlands specialist suppliers of pigeon food and cage and aviary supplies.
Our many years animal husbandry experience enables us to recommend and supply products which represent the best quality and value, with particular emphasis on animal feeds and bedding.
Our customer-friendly approach guarantees that when you visit Cook’s Farm Shop, you can be assured of great service together with sound product advice, whatever your needs.
Our Farm
Cook’s Farm Shop has been built on three generations farming experience at Lane End Farm near Newtown Linford, Leicestershire. The farm carries livestock enterprises, including cattle, pigs and poultry as well as the traditional arable crops of cereals and oilseeds.
We firmly believe we have responsibilities to maintain the countryside and enhance it for future generations. To help fulfil these aims, we have recently planted 3.5 acres of new woodland using several of board-leaf tree species native to Britain.
We are members of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) Countryside Stewardship Scheme, which has the following aims:
- Sustain the beauty and diversity of the landscape
- Improve and extend wildlife habitats
- Improve opportunities for countryside enjoyment
We are also members of the Farming & Wildlife Advisory Group (FWAG). Working through a team of specialist advisers, FWAG helps us to create and maintain suitable wildlife habitats. For example, we do not apply crop sprays to field margins in order to preserve valuable food sources for birds and insects.
We look forward to welcoming you to Cook’s Farm Shop.
