Home Farm Butchers, Aspatria, up for 'Best Butchers 2025' award
We're highlighting the shortlisted butchers, delis and farm shops in our competition in the News & Star. Each of the establishments will be featured over ten issues.
Home Farm Butchers has been nominated by News & Star readers as one of ten finalists in its 'Best Butchers, Delis or Farm Shops 2025' award.
The small shop is located in Brayton Park in Aspatria, near Wigton. It was set up just after the pandemic and takes 'great pride in field to fork eating.'
Harry Ward, the owner of Brayton Park and the butchery business, told the News & Star it was 'fabulous' to be nominated.

He said: 'It's absolutely amazing, we're just a small shop in Aspatria, so it's fabulous to be recognised.'
Home Farm offers a variety of products, from fresh meat to ready meals. Harry added: 'We sell fresh meat which has been raised on the family farm and vegetables and herbs grown in our Walled Garden.
'We also bring local businesses into our shop. I think the customers like this because they're shopping locally, supporting local businesses and they don't have to travel as far.
'Our busiest period is now with the BBQ season, and obviously, Christmas is very busy too. It gets quieter in January and February when people are sick of food!'
