We love The Balloon Tree for breakfast, I always have eggy bread which is so tasty with local bacon and not so local maple syrup… The shop always has lots to temp too, especially if you are off on a walk as we so often are!

THE best farm shop I have ever been to. I love that the ‘price’ points tell you how many yards away the food came from. The café is superb as well.

The Balloon Tree is an excellent Farm Shop and Café between York and Stamford Bridge on the A166. They have everything you could need from freshly picked vegetables and fruit from their own fields to meats from local farms. They also have a range of bread, cakes(delicious!!!), Ice Cream from local makers and a deli counter. You can also pick up biscuits, preserves, fresh home cooked ready meals, fruit wines, local ales and other artisan products, even Potato Vodka! The café is excellent and they currently offer a free cup of tea or coffee for all visitors before 11am! You can sit and enjoy breakfast, sandwiches, light lunches and some lovely home cooked deserts. In the summer there are wide arrays of fruits to be picked in the several pick your own areas from the obligaotry strawberrys to gooseberrs to raspberrys. The prices are very reasonable, some of the items, fresh meat for example, may seem a little more expensive but for the quality they are absolute bargains!
