Our Story

Fodder is open seven days a week, with free wifi, free parking, a beautiful view and a warm Yorkshire welcome.

Celebrating
Yorkshire

From field to fork, it’s all about Yorkshire! We work with brilliant local farmers to bring you the freshest, tastiest food around.

Fodder was established in 2009 to help and support the local farming community.

We are committed to making high-quality, seasonal, and locally sourced food easily accessible. By encouraging consumers to eat local, we support sustainable agriculture and the regional economy.

In 2025, we proudly evolved into Fodder – The Great Yorkshire Food Hall, unveiling a fresh new look and a revitalised brand identity that strengthens our connection to our Charity, the Yorkshire Agricultural Society. With more Yorkshire produce than ever before, we offer our customers a truly unique experience – where shopping and dining come together to celebrate the very best of Yorkshire’s food and farming heritage. Whether browsing our carefully curated selection of local produce or enjoying a delicious meal in our café, visitors can immerse themselves in the authentic flavours of Yorkshire like never before.

At Fodder, we’re all about great food, great people, and great Yorkshire hospitality – we are the Great Yorkshire Food Hall.

Growing the farming community

All of our profits go to charity, by eating and shopping at Fodder, customers are supporting the Yorkshire Agricultural Society, reinvesting in the future of farming and the countryside.

We’re the only shop and kitchen where 100% of profits support Yorkshire farmers and the countryside through the Yorkshire Agricultural Society, a registered charity championing local agriculture.

Additionally, we ensure that food good enough to eat but not to sell is donated to local food charities, included Harrogate Homeless Project and Resurrected Bites.

We have regular collections from these charities who use our waste food to divert good quality produce from going to landfill. These charities convert it into meals for cafes, meals at homeless shelters and provide it to families through community grocery scheme.

Sustainability

Our building truly embraces the environment, with 22 sustainable features within it – including loo doors made from recycled bottles to the living sedum roof that provides fantastic insulation plus a wonderful habitat for insects, while filtering the rainwater so it can be recycled too. Our packaging is compostable and we encourage customers to bring their own containers to fill with  products from the butchery and deli.
