But now bosses say it is time to goodbye as the shop prepares to close at the end of the month.
Announcing the news on Facebook, the owners said: “It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of our family-run Farm Shop.
“Our proposed date for closure is Friday, January 31.
“For the past 28 years, we have been dedicated to providing our community with the freshest, locally sourced produce and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
“We are incredibly grateful to each and every one of our loyal customers who have supported us.
“We would also like to express our sincere thanks to our dedicated suppliers who have provided us with the finest quality ingredients.
“While this chapter is coming to an end, we will cherish the memories and friendships we have made along the way.
“Thank you again for your support.”
The post did not disclose the reason for the decision to shut the shop, which also stocks Nightingale Cider which is produced on the farm by its sister business.
