Hooton’s Homegrown
Hooton’s Homegrown
Welcome to Hooton’s Homegrown Farm Shop & Fruit Picking on the Isle of Anglesey. We’re a family run business selling our own homegrown, and homemade produce.
Here on our family farm we work in food metres, not miles – Homegrown Anglesey Food. At Hooton’s, we grow our own fruit and vegetables ensuring quality, freshness and a better flavour!
It’s good to know where your food comes from! We look forward to welcoming you.
Our Locations
We have two farm shops located in Brynsiencyn and Llanfairpwllgwyngyll (near the Britannia and Menai Bridges) both of which are stocked with a wide variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables and locally sourced produce.
During the summer season, we open our pick your own fruit fields where you can experience the satisfaction of harvesting your own produce including strawberries, blackcurrants, gooseberries, and more.
Please visit our contact page for the addresses and opening times of our locations. Thank you for supporting local farming and choosing Hooton’s Homegrown.

Our History
Hooton’s Homegrown has evolved over the last half century from a potato and cereals farm to the multi-faceted business it is today. For us as a family, the journey so far has evolved from many years of experimenting, hard work and a love of growing. This success is in large part due to our loyal and conscientious staff, and of course, the most important part – our loyal customers.
Our background
Michael went to Gwydryn Hîr from Agricultural College having been brought up in Lincolnshire. For many years cereals and potatoes were grown on the farm. Rosalind and Michael married in 1968, and had three sons: Andrew, James and Simon.
How we grew
Fruit growing started on a very small scale in 1989 with pick your own strawberries in one field near the roadside. A small table was our ‘shop’ at the end of the farm drive. Asparagus was planted and proved very popular – this was sold at the back door.
Our first farm shop
Andrew and James returned home to farm and soon many more crops were planted. With the increase in range of crops we soon outgrew the farm stall; the Farm Shop was built in 1998.
Expanding our business
Pigs, Welsh Black Cattle, Sheep and Free range poultry were added to the farm to provide meat for the new butchery. A pick your own field was also established in Menai Bridge to serve customers in that area.
Where we are now
We now have two farm shops, a pick-your-own fruit and vegetable field, and our highly popular hot potato trailer. All our locations are close to the Menai and Britannia bridges, making them the perfect place to visit whilst on the Isle of Anglesey.
