New site for Primrose Herd
Primrose Herd, which has been delivering the finest Cornish pork to retail customers and the hospitality trade for over two decades, has expanded to a new site on the outskirts of Truro. Award-winning farmer Sally Lugg started the family business in 1999 with just two pigs on one farm in Redruth; the new HQ at Cornwall Cold Store in Newham includes a large
processing and butchery facility, office space and pop-up shop. “Despite the challenges of the pandemic, demand continues
to grow so it feels like the right time to expand,” she says. “We’re offering a Click & Collect service for online orders, and will be opening a pop-up shop in the run-up to Christmas.” l www.primroseherd.co.uk
Great Success for Farm Shop A new farm shop and café near St Austell has
enjoyed brisk trade in the first six months of trading.

The café is convenient for the Pentewan Trail and has a dog-friendly outdoor dining area.
