A well-known farm shop and café in Harrogate is set to close for a major revamp.

The shop at Fodder, on Railway Road at the Great Yorkshire Showground, will close for two months as the site undergoes its biggest makeover since opening in 2009.

Yorkshire Agricultural Society (YAS), which owns the site, today said the shop will close on January 10 until March 17.

The café will remain open until February 17, when it will close for one month, but YAS added Fodder Airstream will remain open throughout.

Fodder’s manager, Vanessa Pitt, said today:

The new refit will allow us to create a space that really puts our farmers and producers front and centre.

We will stock more Yorkshire suppliers than ever before, offer tasting tables to allow customers to try before they buy and create a more contemporary feel around the shop and café.

Stay tuned to our social media and website for sneak previews and we hope our customers stay loyal to us as the airstream and café remain open this month.

Allisater Nixon, chief executive of YAS, added:

We have come up with a refurbishment plan that ensures that Fodder is a showcase of Yorkshire produce as well as being commercially sound for the future, enabling the society to continue to invest back into the agricultural community.

Fodder is special and unique in that all of its profits go back to charity, enabling us to further support farmers through education, grants, support groups and health checks. We really appreciate our customers’ loyalty and support through the refurbishment period.
