Why this new farm shop near Peterborough where customers rave about ‘outstanding’ Aberdeen Angus beef is worth a visit this summer

We’re now approaching the midpoint of 2026, which means that any New Year’s resolutions you signed up for in January are probably a distant memory.

For many of us, eating healthier would have been towards the top of our 2026 resolutions list, but this admirable intention often falls flat by the time March rolls around.

But with June upon us, now is the perfect time to revive that healthy eating resolution for the second half of the year.

These days many of us like to know that the food we’re eating comes from sustainable sources; something that can’t always be guaranteed by shopping in supermarkets, where products are imported from around the world.

If the new trend of clean eating sounds like something that appeals to you, your first port of call might be your local farm shop.

As the name suggests, many farm shops source their meat, veg and other products direct from source; often nearby fields and farms.

Those of us in Peterborough are spoilt for choice when it comes to farm shops, owing to the rich countryside surrounding the city.

There are plenty of farm shops to choose from, but it’s fair to say that one nestled between Peterborough and Huntingdon should be pretty high up on your list to visit this summer.

The ‘outstanding’ Aberdeen Angus beef at Branson’s Farm Shop

Located in the idyllic countryside just west of Glatton, Branson’s Farm Shop is one of those places you probably wouldn’t find yourself passing by chance.

The pop-up farm shop is situated on an activel farm that’s remained in the Branson family for nearly 100 years.

Operated by Brian Branson and his son Matt, the farm specialises in high quality Aberdeen Angus beef which is then sold in the nearby farm shop.

The 28-day dry ages, grass-fed beef has become a real hit with customers, with one describing the taste as “outstanding” in a glowing review.

Inside the shop, customers will find an information board detailing exactly where its products have been sourced from. Eggs from Hamerton, blueberries from Nassington and preserves from Sawtry are just some of the products on offer.

Branson’s runs a pop-up operation, with the farm shop open on select dates throughout the year, with plans to move to regular monthly openings in the near future.
