The Balloon Tree Farmshop & Cafe

**"Where the freshest Yorkshire harvest meets the warmth of home."** At **The Balloon Tree Farmshop & Café**, nestled along Stamford Bridge Road in North Yorkshire, every visit feels like a celebration of the land. This isn’t just a farm shop—it’s a destination where award-winning bakery aromas mingle with the crisp sweetness of just-pressed orange juice, and where the seasons dictate what’s best on the shelf. The story here is written in flour-dusted loaves and sun-ripened strawberries. Thanks to an early summer heatwave, this year’s berry season arrived ahead of schedule—proof that nature, not a calendar, guides what’s fresh. Though Pick Your Own has paused until late September (when the fields transform into a pumpkin paradise), the newly redesigned **Farm Shop** is open and waiting. Step inside to discover a curated selection of **local Yorkshire produce**, from golden honey to crusty sourdough, all displayed with the care of a gallery. The star? A gleaming orange juice machine, pressing fruit to order—a small luxury that embodies the farm’s philosophy: *simple, seasonal, exceptional*. What sets The Balloon Tree apart isn’t just the quality—it’s the **connection**. This is where farmers, bakers, and neighbors meet over coffee and the day’s harvest. The Café, with its in-house bakery, turns meals into moments, whether you’re biting into a buttery pastry or savoring soup made from vegetables grown just steps away. Come when the air turns crisp and the pumpkins arrive, or visit now to taste **North Yorkshire’s freshest flavors** in a space designed to delight. The table is set. The welcome is warm. **Your seat is ready.** *(Opening times and visitor details available at the farm shop.)*
