Let’s meet another one of our wholesale customers, the fabulous Algar Lodge Farm Shop & Café in Deal, Kent.
We had a chat with Kelly about how it all started, how their customers enjoy their Lost Sheep Speciality Coffee and why you should pop in and visit them next time you're in the area.
1. Tell us your story – how did your journey begin?
We opened Algar Lodge Farm Shop in November 2020; it was a bit of a spontaneous venture. We saw the farm shop and its land up for sale, with an existing farm shop which was in total disrepair. We saw the fact it was in a perfect location and thought it was worth investing in with a view to creating a food hub with everything in one place. With absolutely zero experience in the food industry, but ALL the passion - we think we have done very well!
2. What made you choose Lost Sheep Coffee as your coffee partner?
As a farm shop - our focus is on working with local producers and after extensive
research and discussions with Lost Sheep Coffee we just fell in love with the brand!
3. How do your customers most enjoy their Lost Sheep Coffee?
Customers most enjoy the coffee in our Café and a lot of people come into the farm
shop to purchase it for home too!
4. Aside from serving great coffee, why should people come and visit you?
Great coffee and great food! We make everything from our butchery, deli and bakery
in-house and if we don't make it, we source it from fantastic local producers.
5. Describe what customers can experience when they visit you?
We are an exciting and unique place to visit. We have a farm shop, café, butchery,
deli and bakery. and we would say we are a little foodie heaven!
6. Can you describe Lost Sheep Coffee in just three words?
High-quality, flavourful and delicious!
7. Where can people find you online?
Our website isn't live yet (sorry!), but you can find us on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.
