Discover Fresh, Local Produce and Delicious Home-Cooked Food

At Hartley, we’re more than a farm shop and kitchen.

PROUDLY INDEPENDENT & FAMILY RUN
The Bowles family has been farming in the village of Winsley for over five generations. Each generation has shaped Hartley Farm in its own way — growing, adapting, and evolving with the times.

Over the years we have been so proud to have been nominated for some amazing awards, even winning a few along the way.
