Key Features
Description
Country Harvest occupies a superb trading position just outside the picturesque Yorkshire Dales village of Ingleton. Built in 1993 by a well-known local farmer from a former garage, the main building provides shop facilities for an Award-Winning delicatessen, butchers, bakery and farm food shop as well as a delightful selection of clothing and gifts and houses (probably) one of the best known and highly regarded coffee shops in the area. There is also an additional facility of the “Christmas Shop” which trades from September to January, creating a magical display. This then offers lifestyle sales during the rest of the year. All of this accommodation is appointed to the highest of standards with modern, quality equipment throughout. There is however much growth potential for further expansion, subject to the appropriate permissions. Country Harvest could not be better located on the A65 main arterial route from the Yorkshire conurbations of Leeds and Bradford to the Lake District. It is one of the few places to eat on this route, but its combination of farm and coffee shop make for it to be the premier stopping-off point. Its location offers breath-taking views of Ingleborough and also brings in trade from the surrounding area including the Yorkshire Dales National Park and Hawes to the North, the Lake District National Park to the Northwest and Forest of Boland to the South. The many self-catering holiday homes, guest houses and local population add to the visitors, making Country Harvest one of the most popular tourist attractions and coffee shops in the area. Country Harvest was acquired by the present owners in 2008 and they immediately began a programme of growing the business. They acquired the bakery at Bentham in 2013, expanded the car park and built the “Christmas Cabin” which also doubles with selling lifestyle items during spring and summer months. They have also completely refurbished Country Harvest, making the most of the space available as well as establishing a modern website to assist in marketing the varied offer of butchery, delicatessen, gifts, clothing and particularly the coffee shop where it is best known. These significant improvements have seen the turnover more than double since they acquired the business. Having enjoyed their many years at Country harvest, the owners are now looking to retire.
