Cattows Farm is using an Ashby company as they begin the biggest expansion project in its history.

The Heather farm, which also stages the Ashby Show, says it is developing a 'new improved vision'.

And they have announced on their Facebook pages that they are making encouraging progress.

The Farm says it is using Ashby-based Keller Construction Ltd.

Cattows Farm posted: "We've been working hard behind the scenes over the past 18-24 months to develop a new and improved vision for the farm - one that will ultimately give our customers an enhanced visitor experience - yesterday things started to get real!

"Working closely with an architect who grew up (and still lives in the village) - HSSP Architects - we've journeyed through many, many versions of plans and building designs with numerous tweaks.

"The coming months will see this vision brought to life! A larger capacity dining area, bigger kitchen, new production kitchen, new products and services and improved toilet facilities - at last!!!

"We've engaged with a fabulous local company - Keller Construction Ltd of Ashby-de-la-Zouch to help us realise one of the single biggest expansion projects in the farms diversified history.
