The farm shop has announced closure in Repton, Derbyshire with plans for relocation.
A family-run farm shop in Derbyshire has announced closure - however it is not the end as a new chapter awaits.
Mercia Milk in Repton, Derbyshire is set to close on Sunday, September 21.
Owner James shared the update on a social post, saying: ‘Dear All. We will be shutting down on the 21st of this month. That Sunday will be our final full day open in Repton.
‘There have been many highs and a few lows going on this journey with you all, but we are glad we managed to do it.
‘It all started out as a passion project for myself, farmer James, but became so much more to us over time.
‘It's been wonderful getting to know many of the local community we would never have had the chance to otherwise.
‘This is not the end, however. We are going to be moving to a new location nearby, but it will take us a great deal of time to achieve this as we are taking the herd with us.’
Mercia Milk is a popular go-to destination for fans of the farm’s milkshake and local produce include cheese, eggs, pickles and jams.
Among the impressive 4.9/5 Google ratings were reviewers who said milkshakes were ‘divine’, the farm ‘brilliant’ and farmers ‘helpful and friendly’.
