Richard and Rosemary Hilsdon are third generation farmers at Boycott Farm and have farmed for nearly 50 years.
Richard and Rosemary expanded the farm with a free-range chicken unit for eggs and an Aberdeen Angus cattle herd, ensuring quality beef for their Farm Shop and Butchery
Greg Smith, Buckinghamshire MP visited the Farm Shop to celebrate the occasion.
Greg said “I want to congratulate Boycott Farm Shop on their 15th birthday. An incredible beacon of local produce that I know is enjoyed and supported by so many local people.
“When people ask how they can support farmers, supporting farm shops – like Boycott – is a perfect way to do it.
A silver lining of the Covid horror was the surge in support for local shops, especially farm shops.
As life has returned to normal, and shopping habits for many returns to the supermarkets, I ask everyone to stop and think about how they may be able to support our farm shops and enjoy the best of local, British produce.”
Richard Hilsdon said ‘We are so proud to be here 15 years later and want to take this opportunity to thank our loyal customers, and all our staff for supporting us.
“This is a family business, with Rosemary leading the kitchen team, our son Philip managing all aspects of the Butchery, and our daughter Liz leading the front of house team.
We hope to continue evolving and farming at Boycott for generations to come.’
To celebrate their 15th birthday, Boycott Farm Shop held a birthday party on Saturday 11th November.
