Family owned farm store announces its closing UK high street shop – in business since 2002

Dyke Farm Shop in Pulborough will close on 23 January 2027, ending a 24-year run serving the local community. The family says it has decided to retire and hopes to finish the business on a high, making the announcement a significant change for customers who value the shop’s produce and personal service.

The shop will trade as usual until closing day. Its statement, signed by Lynne, Richard, Emma and the team, thanked customers for their visits and support and said the family wanted time together. Responses included praise and disappointment; the shop added that it hoped someone might continue the business in future.
