We’re a family of farmers, ploughing our own furrow and doing things with a down-to-earth attitude, some hard graft and a big helping of Yorkshire spirit.
We’ve been baking potatoes for over 30 years and farming for a lot longer than that. Old hands you might say. We make an array of tasty recipes and freeze them when they’re at the point of perfection. So however busy your kitchen gets, you can always have fabulous, fuss free farmhouse food, ready at the drop of a hat.

KENT Building Developments
Kent Building Developments Ltd is an experienced and award winning building team. We offer a complete "design and build" service starting with architectural design, planning, project management and high quality building work.
Whether it is a new build, barn conversion, the conversion of an existing building, an extension or swimming pool choosing the right builder is crucial. We offer all of our clients a complete service from the important pre-building architectural design and planning stages through to successful completion on time and on budget.
We specialise in the extraordinary and difficult. We can tackle almost any building project and relish the challenge to help you design and build your "grand design" dream home or business.
One of our projects, is our own Barn Conversion in Rillington. We turned an old listed building into three cottages. Threshers Barn, Granary and Rose Cottages. Finished to a very high standard, all three retain many of the original features of the original 18th Century Barn but also have modern efficient energy saving features. They are heated by a high percentage of renewable energy plus air source heat pumps provide all the energy necessary to run the underfloor heating system and all of the hot water. Granary and Rose cottages are both 5* and Gold Award winning. ‘Woldsend Holiday Cottages’ are popular throughout the year with returning clients.
