- A family-run farm shop in Norfolk is to close its doors after five years of trading
Norton’s Farm Shop, at Beck Farm in Frettenham, sold butter, cheese, pork and vegetables, all sourced from the farm and local area.
Emily Norton, who helped run the shop with her mother, said, “The driving force behind the shop has always been my mum, Rona Norton, and she has decided the time has come to slow down.
“As well as the shop, she does all the paperwork and accounts for the farm. She does the village milk round twice a week, and she manages our holiday cottages at Glebe Farm. We all agreed it was too much for one person, but sadly there is no one else able to take on running the shop,” she added.
Other shops in the area will continue to sell produce from the farm, and the Norton family will be investing in new cheesemaking equipment to expand their range.
