Our new farm shop and bakery lets you take home a slice of quality



At the Black Lion, we’ve always believed in the power of great food and the importance of knowing where it comes from. That’s why we’ve launched our online farm shop, making it easier than ever to buy incredible local produce straight from the farmers and producers who know it best.

Living in Butterton, we’re surrounded by the stunning landscape of the Peak District and its hardworking farming community. We wanted to create a way for people to connect directly with local farmers — supporting them, keeping profits in our community, and ensuring you get the freshest, highest-quality ingredients.

Our farm shop isn’t just about convenience; it’s about trust and quality. Every item has been carefully chosen for its taste and provenance, whether it’s beautifully marbled local beef, fresh dairy, or our baked goods made with care. 

So, if you love fresh, local food and want to support the farmers who make it possible, take a look at our online shop and fill your kitchen with the best produce our region has to offer.
