Fir Tree Farm is situated in a rural location east of the village of Rainford in the small village of Kings Moss at the bottom of Shailey Brow (the road going up to Billing lump.

Fir Tree Farm and farm shop

Fir Tree Farm shop is an impressive farm shop that stocks a large range of fresh local seasonal products such as fruit and vegetables, some of this is produced on the farm itself and the farm is particularly proud of its home produced beef. The shop also stocks a range of organic foods and drink with real ales and organic wines as well as jams, biscuits, honey and ice cream.

The shop itself is located in the main building, a converted barn pictured in the heading picture above, with the farms cafe behind it.

Both the shop and the cafe/restaurant are licensed to sell alcohol.

The Fir Tree Farm Cafe and Restaurant

The farms cafe and restaurant is called the seasons restaurant. For those of us who like to cycle, the cafe is a welcome stop off whilst cycling around the Billing, Rainford Windle Area. The staff are very friendly and service is always with a smile.
There are three dinning areas, two located outside the building with one at the front and a fenced area to the side of the cafe, with the third dinning area inside the cafe. The front area is a favourite of cyclists who just want to stop for a cup of tea or coffee and a biscuit, whilst the fenced off area to the side of the cafe is for those who wish to dine alfresco. The inside area has more of a restaurant feel to it.
Both outside eating areas are decorated with ornamental carvings. The area at the front also has a basket weave figure on a cart and the area to side of the cafe also has a small ornamental water fountain.

The cafe sells snack meals, stews and salads, whilst in the evening, the restaurant sells candlelit a la carte dinners. You can enjoy a glass of wine or a cool beer throughout the day.
