Charlie Hughes
THE FARMER
Welcome! I'm Charlie, the Farmer here at Southview Farm and Founder of Charlie's Farm Shop. We are a "real" farm shop on a working farm and take great pride in the milk and meat that we produce.
For three generations, since 1919, we have been milking cows and in 1980 we began bottling and selling raw unpasteurised milk.
Our Butchery serves beef, milk fed pork and rose veal, all reared on the farm, together with lamb, pork, poultry and game all sourced as locally as possible.
We believe that people have never been so interested in quality local food and how it is produced, in freshness and in traceability. Charlie's Farm Shop provides a wide range of locally sourced produce to include fresh fruit and vegetables, eggs, cheese, bread, cakes, beers, wines and meal staples. All the ingredients for a good wholesome meal are available to make your journey worthwhile.
Come pay us a visit and see for yourself!
SARAH HUGHES
THE FARM SHOP MANAGER
I’m Sarah the Farm Shop Manager and Farmers wife!
I’m in charge of everything shop-related, whether it be sourcing local produce, serving our customers or doing the accounts.
It’s great to build relationships with our wonderful local producers. We are lucky to live in such a great food-producing area.
Having been brought up in the country, I have always loved the outdoors and, in particular, horse riding. I’ve worked in Guernsey and, more recently, London, but it’s wonderful to be back in Sussex.
When I’m not in the shop, I enjoy getting involved in the farm work and helping bottle raw milk.
