The Factory Farm Stall and Venue started as a dream 10 years ago when our family left city life to embrace farm living. Housed in a historic 1920s apricot factory, it s now a welcoming destination with rich history and charm. Nestled among green pastures near the Longhope turnoff on the N10, the venue features a tree-lined driveway and the romance of a passing train. Open to all, The Factory offers coffee, snacks, meals, and unique gifts, making it a perfect spot to relax, work, or create memories. Enjoy our quirky tradition - ring the bell when the train passes for a chance at free coffee! We also provide a boardroom for meetings and venue hire for events or weddings.
