How many farm shops are there in Westmorland and Furness?

We list 12 farm shops in Westmorland and Furness, spread across 1 district. That count covers businesses on the Food Standards Agency food hygiene register that identify themselves as a farm shop. Farms that sell only at markets, only through a box scheme, or only from an honesty box may not appear on that register at all, so treat this as a floor rather than a complete census.

Are these farm shops open to the public right now?

We cannot promise that. This directory holds official registration and hygiene data, not opening hours. Farm businesses are strongly seasonal and many change their hours week to week. Always check the farm's own website or social media, or ring, before setting off.

What does the food hygiene rating on each listing mean?

It is the score the local council's food safety officer gave that business at its last inspection. It runs from 5 (very good) down to 0 (urgent improvement necessary). It reflects hygiene and record-keeping on the day of inspection. It says nothing about how good the produce is.
