    The owners of a bohemian-style cafe in Harrogate will open a farm shop today after the demand for groceries soared in the coronavirus lockdown.

    Kyrensa Bentley set up 53 Bo'Grove Cafe, based on Grove Road, just under a year ago and it has been growing ever since.



    Following in the footsteps of the antique shop, the refill shop and the garden centre, the new rustic farm shop also has an environmentally-friendly focus.

    53 Bo'Grove Farm Shop will officially open its doors today at 10.30am with a selection of fruit and vegetables as well as oils, chutneys, jams, bread, cakes, and more.



    The shop will have a mix of Yorkshire-based suppliers as well as some continental offerings. Ashley Johnson is taking up the reins as manager and said:

    "We've got balloons, we've got banners and we're giving away some big fruits and cheese hampers. It will be a great day to celebrate, we are still in the coronavirus lockdown but we can enjoy something a bit closer to normal."

    Kyrensa Bentley, the owner of 53 Bo'Grove also told The Stray Ferret:

    "We started planning for a little farm shop about halfway through lockdown. This project didn't start out with a lot of money, we have just saved up as it has grown. It has grown quite organically."
