- 1Riverside OrganicMeat & eggs · Northwich4.3 (390 reviews)Riverside Organic is an organic farm shop and cafe at Shipbrook Hill Farm in Whatcroft near Northwich, Cheshire selling homegrown organic beef and lamb plus organic vegetables, fruit and veg boxes.
- 2The Milk HouseRaw milk · Northwich4.5 (228 reviews)The Milk House is a raw milk stop at Home Farm in Comberbach, near Northwich. Unpasteurised, unhomogenised milk is sold through a vending machine and dispensed into reusable glass bottles, so regulars can skip the plastic, and everything sold is sourced locally.
Alongside the milk there are milkshakes in a long run of flavours, from classic chocolate to bubblegum, and homemade cakes join the shelves at weekends. The machine is open every day from early morning until evening.
- 3H.S. BourneRaw milk · Malpas4.5 (22 reviews)The Bourne family has been making Cheshire cheese since 1750, and today makes it at The Bank in Malpas, the family home since 1930, where their herd of Friesian cows grazes the surrounding land and provides the milk for every cheese. Unlike industrial producers they still work with traditional hands on techniques, and they refuse to sell their cheese young, maturing it slowly until it tastes the way real Cheshire should. The family describes itself as the last traditional maker of clothbound Cheshire cheese still working within Cheshire itself.
The range runs from an award winning unpasteurised clothbound Cheshire, made with raw milk, through Blue Cheshire, Mrs Bourne's Mature, Oak Smoked, Red Cheshire and the 1845 Heritage Cheshire launched in October 2025. The cheeses have taken medals at the British Cheese Awards, the World Cheese Awards and the International Cheese and Dairy Awards, including Best Cheshire in 2024. Buy direct from the farm, at monthly farmers markets across Cheshire and the Wirral, in farm shops and delis across the UK, or by mail order.

Hollowood FarmMeat · MalpasHollowood Farm at Mates Lane in Malpas raises Aberdeen Angus beef, with lamb and pork from time to time. The cattle graze herbal ley pastures through spring, summer and autumn, managed by patch grazing to build soil health and capture carbon, with a small home grown mix of peas, barley and maize to balance their winter diet. Antibiotics are never routine, only ever a last resort.
Calves are bred and reared on the farm, lambs are born there, and pigs arrive as weaners and grow on at the farm. The beef is dry aged and hand cut by a trusted butcher, packed in fully recyclable vacuum packs, and delivered to order. Visits are by appointment, so get in touch to arrange one.
