Mountain’s Farm Shop

Mountain’s Farm Shop is one of the food-and-drink stops worth knowing about in East Heckington: it is a farm shop associated with Lincolnshire food production in the countryside west of Boston. It is especially valuable for a regional destination site because it encourages visitors to see the Fens as a producing landscape, not simply a landscape to drive through. For a Discover the Fens itinerary, its strongest value is provenance. It helps turn the surrounding Boston and the Witham Fens landscape from scenery into something tangible: a place where food or drink is grown, made, sold or interpreted locally. That makes it a useful stop for food-minded visitors, touring drivers and anyone interested in the relationship between Fenland agriculture, enterprise and everyday life. Menus, service times and opening arrangements can change seasonally, so visitors making a special journey should check the venue’s current information before travelling.
