Fresh from their farming adventures that captured the nation's heart, former Emmerdale stars Kelvin and Liz Fletcher are embarking on their most exciting project yet. The beloved television couple have revealed plans to open their very own farm shop and café, bringing their passion for sustainable living directly to the public.
From Soap Stars to Sustainable Entrepreneurs
The Fletchers, who won over viewers with their authentic approach to country life, are transforming their 14-acre Peak District property into a destination for food lovers. Their new venture promises to showcase the best of local, organic produce while creating a welcoming community hub.
'This has been our dream for years,' Kelvin shared enthusiastically. 'We want to create something truly special that reflects everything we've learned about sustainable farming and quality produce.'
What to Expect from the Fletcher Farm Experience
The ambitious project will feature:
- A farm shop stocked with organic vegetables and locally sourced products
- A cosy café serving homemade treats and refreshments
- Educational opportunities about sustainable farming practices
- Regular events celebrating rural life and community
Liz explained their vision: 'We're not just opening a business; we're creating a space where people can connect with where their food comes from and experience the warmth of country living.'
Building on Their Farming Success
The couple's journey from television actors to genuine farmers began when they purchased their Derbyshire property in 2021. Their authentic approach to learning the ropes of country life has earned them credibility beyond their acting careers.
Their new venture represents the natural evolution of their farming story, combining their growing expertise with their desire to share the benefits of fresh, local produce with their community and visitors to the beautiful Peak District.
With planning permission secured and excitement building, the Fletchers are set to become as successful in business as they've been on television and in farming.
