Welcome to Grange Farm Lowton
Tucked away just off the A580 in Lowton, Grange Farm has been welcoming visitors in different ways for over 20 years.
What started as a hardworking family farm and log business has grown into a countryside destination where people come to eat well, shop local and spend time together.
Pop in for lunch, browse the farm shop, pick up something for the garden, say hello to the Highland cows or simply enjoy a wander around the farm.
However you choose to spend your time here, we hope you'll leave feeling like part of the family.
Where it all began
Long before there was a restaurant, farm shop or Pumpkin Festival, there were (as still is) logs.
When Andrew took over Grange Farm, the farm hadn't been worked for almost twenty years. Alongside running his landscaping business, he began producing and supplying quality kiln dried hardwood logs across the North West.
Word quickly spread and Grange Farm became known as one of the region's leading suppliers of premium kiln dried logs, something we're still incredibly proud of today.
In many ways, the log business laid the foundations for everything that followed.
The hard work, determination and passion that built the log business still runs through every corner of Grange Farm today and of course - we are still supplying the whole of the North West with those quality logs.
The Farm Shop
When Andrew was 12, he started his first dive into business, selling fruit and veg door-to-door. The Grange Farm Shop today has grown into a much larger version of that, but we still pride ourselves on our personalised shopping experience. When you shop at the Farm Shop, you’re shopping with a personal touch that you won’t find at any big-name supermarket. Our staff love to have a chat with our regulars, and are always on hand to help you find what you’re looking for!
Locally sourced produce is unbeatable in quality. It hasn't spent days in storage before you pick it up. In fact, the produce we sell in our shop comes from within 15 miles of the farm (or from Grange Farm Lowton itself!), which means less mileage, a smaller impact on the environment, and freshness and quality as a priority.
The Barn
At the heart of Grange Farm sits The Barn, our beautifully converted restaurant where home-cooked food, warm hospitality and good company come together.
What was once a tired old farm building has been lovingly transformed into the cosy space you see today, complete with rustic touches, roaring fires during the winter months and an atmosphere designed to help you slow down and stay awhile.
Food has always been incredibly important to us.
We believe in keeping things simple:
fresh ingredients
hearty portions
delicious home-cooked meals made with care.
Whether you're joining us for breakfast, lunch, Afternoon Tea or a special celebration, we hope every visit leaves you already planning your next.
Experiences & Events
There's Always Something Happening On The Farm
What started with a few pumpkins quickly became something much bigger.
After years of growing pumpkins for the farm shop, customers kept asking the same question:
"Can we pick our own?"
So we opened the gates and the response was incredible. Since then, our Pumpkin Festival has grown into a much-loved annual tradition for so many families, and we've well and truly caught the events bug.
From seasonal celebrations and festive experiences to meeting our Highland cows and exciting plans for the orchard, we're always looking for new ways to bring people together and create memories that last long after the day is over.
After all, life's best moments are meant to be shared.
