Websites for farm shops
Web design for farm shops: £249.99 to build, then £49.99 a month, no minimum term. Customers are making a special trip. Tell them it is worth the drive.
Nobody passes a farm shop by accident. Every customer has decided to drive out, which means the website has to justify a journey rather than simply describe a shop.
That changes what matters: what is there today, what else there is to do, parking, whether the café is open and whether it suits children or dogs.
What your customers want answered
- What do you sell, and what is grown or reared here
- When are you open, and is the café open too
- Is it worth the drive from where I live
- Is there parking, and is it suitable for children and dogs
- Do you do boxes, meat orders or Christmas
Say what is actually yoursCustomers assume a farm shop sells mostly bought-in stock, and many do. Being specific about what is grown or reared on the farm, and what is from named neighbours, is the credibility that justifies both the journey and the price.
Not mentioning what else fills an hour
Families are deciding on a morning out, not a shop. The café, the walk, the animals and the play area are what make the trip worthwhile, and they belong on the page.
What's in this week
Show what you sell, what is grown or reared on the farm, seasonal produce and opening hours. A café, butchery counter or pick-your-own deserve sections.
Visit and order
Give directions, parking, accessibility and opening hours, including seasonal changes. List events such as seasonal fairs or open days. If you offer online ordering, veg boxes or Christmas orders, explain delivery areas, collection days and cut-off times so customers can plan ahead.
Producers and the story behind the food
Customers come to farm shops for provenance. Name your local suppliers with their permission, say how far the food travels and what is made on site. A page on the farm itself, with photos of animals and fields, connects people to what they buy.
Hampers, Christmas orders, barbecue boxes and gift vouchers each deserve their own page. If you have a café, play area or farm trail, list them, as families often choose a day out based on them.
Common questions
- What should a farm shop website include?
- Products, what is home-produced, seasonal highlights, opening hours, café, events, directions and online ordering.
- Should I post seasonal updates?
- Yes. They give people a reason to visit.
- Can I sell veg boxes online?
- Yes. A simple order form or shop with box sizes, prices, delivery areas and collection days works well and brings weekly repeat orders.
