Meat Producer To Expand Farm Shop

Broughgammon specialises in rose veal, speciality sausages and goat meat, which is sold through the farm shop and in meat boxes online.

The company, which is headed up by Charlie and Becky and Sandy Cole, has lodged a planning application with Causeway Coast and Glens Council to adapt an existing barn into a farm shop and cafė. If permission is granted, the the Coles hope to open for business in 2017.

The present farm shop, which is attached to Broughgammon’s butchery in now proving too small for present needs. Becky Cole, joint manager said, “We have really seen growth from our online meat box sales and our artisan butchery is going from strength to strength. The new shop will be a conversion of our round-top barn, which is just the right size for a cosy cafė and farm shop, as well as a space for pop-up suppers and workshops.”

“The café which will serve up a menu including our artisan meat products as well as other local ones. We feel like the conversion will really give back to the farm financially, as we can use it for a multitude of events and workshops and also as a daily cafė and hub for the community.”
