Boscastle Farm Shop’s Picks for the Season

Boscastle Farm Shop is more than just a shopping destination – it’s a celebration of local flavours and seasonal delights. Whether you’re prepping for a traditional Christmas dinner, crafting a cheeseboard to wow your guests, or looking for ways to revive yourself after the festivities, Boscastle Farm Shop has everything you need. Let’s explore the treasures waiting to brighten your holidays and kickstart your New Year.

Chutneys, Cheese & Cornish Charm

The festive season is the perfect excuse to indulge in a decadent cheeseboard, and Boscastle Farm Shop makes it easy. Start with locally sourced cheeses – creamy Cornish Yarg, a punchy blue, or a crumbly farmhouse cheddar. Pair these with their vibrant selection of chutneys. The rich spiced apple chutney complements the cheddar perfectly, while a tangy red onion marmalade elevates the creamy notes of soft cheeses. For a twist, add some artisan crackers and a handful of nuts for a cracking festive treat.

Raise a Toast to the Holidays

Boscastle Farm Shop’s wine collection offers the perfect pour for every course. A bold red will complement a roast beef dinner, while a crisp white is a perfect accompaniment to seafood starters or turkey. And don’t miss the chance to try Cornish sparkling cider for a local spin on festive fizz – it’s delightful with canapés or simply as an aperitif while watching the sunset.

Treats from the Bakery

The Farm Shop’s bakery is a treasure trove of festive favourites. Their handmade mince pies are little pockets of joy, with crumbly pastry and a spiced, fruity filling. For Christmas morning, pick up a box of croissants or scones and pair them with their locally made jam and clotted cream. And if you’re looking for something to share with guests, a loaf of their artisan bread or a fruit-packed Christmas cake will be the centrepiece of any table.

A Cornish Christmas Dinner

Make this year’s Christmas dinner unforgettable with farm-fresh ingredients. Their locally sourced vegetables – sprouts, carrots, potatoes and parsnips – are the perfect base for your roast. Try roasting parsnips in honey and mustard or whipping up buttery mashed potatoes with a splash of Cornish cream for an indulgent side. For meat lovers, their selection of free-range turkey and tender beef ensures the star of your meal is nothing short of spectacular.

Recipe Idea: Honey-Glazed Roast Veggies

4 carrots

4 parsnips

2 tbsp Cornish honey

1 tbsp mustard

Olive oil

Fresh thyme

Preheat your oven to 200°C.

Peel and chop the carrots and parsnips into even chunks.

Toss them in olive oil, honey, mustard, and a pinch of salt.

Spread evenly on a baking tray and roast for 30–40 minutes, turning halfway through. Sprinkle with thyme before serving.

New Year Revival: Fresh, Healthy & Full of Flavour

After the indulgence of Christmas, a little light refreshment is just what you need. Stock up on their seasonal fruit for energising smoothies – try blending apple, kale and ginger for a zingy detox drink. Or, create a warming winter soup with their fresh vegetables. A blend of sweet potatoes, leeks, and a hint of chilli is a guaranteed way to combat the chill and revive your senses.

Quick Recipe: Winter Soup with a Kick

2 sweet potatoes

1 leek

1 clove of garlic

½ tsp chilli flakes

500ml vegetable stock

Cornish cream for garnish

Peel and chop the sweet potatoes, slice the leek, and mince the garlic.

Sauté the leek and garlic in a little butter until soft.

Add the sweet potatoes, chilli flakes, and stock, then simmer for 20 minutes.

Blend until smooth, season to taste, and swirl in a spoonful of Cornish cream to serve.
