A Lake District farm shop and café run by third-generation farmers is highly rated by visitors.

Lakeland Farm Visitor Centre at Ings, between Windermere and Staveley, combines a farm shop, butcher's counter and café. Run by third-generation Lakeland farmers Kerrie and Isaac and their family, the business has its roots in Great Langdale, where the family has bred award-winning Herdwick sheep for many years.

The Farm Kitchen menu features home-reared beef and Herdwick lamb burgers, cottage pie, Herdwick hotpot and three sizes of full English breakfast. Sunday lunches showcase the farm's own fell-bred Herdwick and farm-reared beef, whilst the centre also hosts steak nights featuring meat from the farm. The farm shop stocks products from Lake District suppliers, including food and drink, art, clothing and homeware.

Visitors can participate in traditional farming experiences including dry stone walling, wool spinning and seasonal lamb-feeding sessions. The centre says these experiences are designed to give people an insight into livestock, traditional skills and the role farming plays in maintaining the Lake District landscape. At the time of writing, Lakeland Farm Visitor Centre has a 4.5 out of 5 rating on TripAdvisor with 115 reviews and a 4.4 out of 5 rating on Google with 180 reviews.
