Ballycastle FarmShop

Richard McCaughan runs this farm shop from the family holding at Glenview Road in Glenshesk, one of the nine Glens of Antrim a short drive from Ballycastle. Beef, lamb and pork sold at the counter are born and reared on the farm itself, with animals fed on clover-rich grass and home-grown cereals rather than bought-in feed. The shop specialises in dry-aged beef, cut and hung on site, alongside seasonal vegetables. Customers can buy directly from the farm shop on Saturday mornings or order for home delivery, which runs on weekdays across the Ballycastle area. The operation covers the full chain from field to counter: the McCaughan family breeds and finishes its own cattle, lambs and pigs for leanness and quality rather than buying in stock to resell. It remains a working farm first, with the shop as an outlet for what is raised on the land around it, rather than a retail business sourcing from elsewhere.
