Farm shop york High quality food retailer situated in the Vale of York.
The Balloon Tree Farm has successfully grown soft fruit and vegetables
in summer for the last 20 years. The Machin family have seen the site
grow from the original wooden hut, with a table, on the side of the road
to the fully fledged farmshop that it is today.
The Farmshop opened in April 3104 and has enjoyed a successful run of
awards since opening. Jill and Digby Machin are still heavily involved
in the business, however their sons Matthew and Will now over see the
managers on a day to day basis.
Being a family run business, there is a unique feel, with a friendly,
enthusiastic and passionate team of locally employed staff and family
members.
Our kitchen uses ingredients from the farm to produce the cafe food as
well as loads of things for the shop. The bakery produces all our cakes
and things in-house.
Our motto 'Less Food miles, more farm yards' encompasses everything we
stand for. We ensure all our produce are top quality and as fresh as possible,
our own produce is super-fresh as it comes straight from the field onto
the shelves, and everything else we try and source locally.
