Michael's journey began in 1970. Following from his early success by 1975; alongside his late wife Ann, Michael purchased Pendennis Farm where we are still located today. Developing the farm’s pig shed into a small agricultural shop. You would find our offices there now.
The business continued to grow further, building the initial part of the shop; a smaller version of the store as you know it today along with the feed store and a small timber yard, no larger than the car park here now. This new store was officially opened on 23rd October 1979 by Dan Charrington – a Devon based farmer that presented the BBC Farming programme – and the start of our annual Open Day was born.
The store more than doubled in size now including country clothing, footwear and a large equestrian department along with the newest products in agriculture.
The timber yard expanded vastly as did our storage with a new hay shed, dairy consumables shed and goods inwards building all going up in following years.
In 2018, a new warehouse was constructed to house our ever growing stock.
