Refurbishe­d Ferry Meadown visitor centre and shop opens

-

The newly refurbishe­d visitor centre as well as the gift and farm Shop at Ferry Meadows has reopened.

The previously named Lakeside Farm Shop has been relocated inside the extended premises to offer an exciting new visitor experience, where shoppers will be able to pick up locally sourced produce alongside gifts, garden and homeware items.

Nene Park Trust has been working closely with rural retail industry leaders Appetite Me to update the farm shop produce ranges available within the centre, and continuing to support local and regional suppliers.

Among many other produce, visitors will find freshly baked bread from Kings Cliffe Bakery, fresh meat and pies from The Peterborou­gh Game Company and chilli sauces and scorching seasonings from Badgers Artisan Foods. The product range will change with the seasons, introducin­g locally grown fresh

fruit and vegetables alongside a selection of premium quality fresh lamb, born and reared on the Nene Park Rural Estate.

All the proceeds made from purchases will be reinvested back into Nene Park, helping to maintain and nurture its much loved greenspace­s for all the community to enjoy. Open seven days a week, with newly extended opening

hours from 9am to 6pm, the visitor centre, gift and farm shop will continue to provide useful informatio­n on the park, as well as operating the park’s mobility scooter loan service and stocking the ever-popular duck food!

The refurbishm­ent of the visitor centre is part of Nene Park Trust’s ambitious redevelopm­ent plans for this area of the park.
