Being a rural area there are several farms and businesses selling local produce.

Salt Marsh Lamb, just a few minutes walk from Patty's Farm Barn, is famous for its succulence and taste. It can be purchased directly from the farm.

Local butcher James Lamb has a shop in Condor Green specialising in local produce.

Further to the South in Pilling, Anne & Peter Bell sell beef in frozen packs direct from their farm - see www.bellsbeef.co.uk

If it is a desert or snack you are after, Walling's ice cream is produced on their farm, and is well worth a visit. The shop is only 2 minutes away by car.
