About us

A family farm, a proper butchers

Wallis's Farm Shop & Butchers is a family-run farm shop and butchers in Tendring, Essex. We rear our own cattle, pigs, lamb and poultry on the farm behind the shop, and sell the meat over our own counter.

Our family

Farmers first, shopkeepers second

We're a family farm. The animals you see in our fields are the ones that end up on our counter, and we look after them properly. Animal welfare is a priority for every one of us.

Our beef, lamb and pork are grass-fed. Everything is produced on the farm, butchered on the farm and sold on the farm. That's what we mean by farm to fork.

We opened the shop so local people could buy that meat direct, alongside fresh bread, local produce and a few treats. These days the farmyard is a proper one-stop shop, with fish and soon fruit and veg too.

Why shop local

Good for you, good for Tendring

  • Fresh, high-quality food

    Meat from our own fields, bread delivered every morning and local produce on the shelves.

  • You know where it came from

    Reared, butchered and sold on one farm. Full traceability, every time.

  • Keeps money local

    Shopping here supports local farming and local jobs in Tendring.

  • Fewer food miles

    No long supply chains. Our meat travels from the field to the counter, not across the country.

  • A friendly face

    A family-run farm where we know our customers and are happy to answer questions.
