Barnowl Farm Shop is a family run farm shop at Cloisters Farm in Evenley, near Brackley, home of the Barnowl Jersey herd.
What began as an honesty box at the farm gate has grown into a purpose built shop with a butcher's counter and a small dairy turning the herd's milk into milk, cream and ice cream on site. The family also rears pure Oxford Sandy and Black pigs, with sows brought indoors only for farrowing.
Alongside the dairy and butchery the shop stocks seasonal fresh produce and locally sourced food and drink. It is open every day, with slightly shorter hours at the start and end of the week.

🥝🍋🟩 Barnowl Kiwi & Lime Jersey Ice Cream 🍋🟩🥝 yes.. ate it all, no.. did not share!
Fantastic hidden gem of a farmshop! Great produce.
Needed a break from motorway and hoped for something better than ‘services’. Turned out perfectly: friendly helpful staff. Tasty picnic and coffee eaten on a handy picnic table & a loo. So much better than ‘services’.

Best tasting milk I ever had love the raw milk and Duck Eggs. Recommend. Update 29/05/2025 All good got a refund on the eggs. Thanks. Unfortunately on the 24/05/2025 I was charged £2.25 more than I should been for hen eggs which I did not buy I only had the duck eggs. I think it's because the lady thought I had hen eggs then realised it was duck eggs but did not remove the hen eggs from the sale. I am sure you can rectify this for me. Thanks.
Found this place by luck whilst cycling. Has great selection. Loads of meats for the BBQ but also a few ready to eat foods. We bought scotch egg (the size of a tennis ball) a pork pie and a couple of egg custards. Total £5. Benches outside and cycle racks.
Visited Barn Owl Farm on a Sunday afternoon and really enjoyed the experience. It’s a small shop, but they offer some of the best farm‑fresh products — raw milk, whole milk, cheese, meat, paneer, and chocolates. We tried only the milk this time, and it was truly excellent. The quality was outstanding — thick, fresh, and delicious. Highly recommend visiting if you’re looking for genuine farm products.
Good place with nice staff and good produce, also have good opening hours. If you want anything dairy to Jeremy Clarkson’s larger then come here, the prices are reasonable. It is in the middle of nowhere though.
