The cost of eating local…
Our fresh chicken fillets are supplied from our local supplier in Richill. Like all the suppliers we partner with, they take animal welfare very seriously. As we we do - from farm to fork
The chickens are barn reared, giving them space to roam around and eat and drink as they please.
You can rest assured that our chicken is of the highest quality from well farmed local chickens.
Thank you for joining us as we support local!
Q1) Hi Lynda, can you tell us what you do in your role in the Food Village Farm Shop and how long you have worked at Primacy?
I joined primacy food village in September 2006 when it first opened. In the farm shop I'm responsible for ordering the grocery stock and the delicious traybakes/biscuits, tasty jams / marmalades to the yummy sweets and chocolates. We have a great selection of tempting items in store, making sure all our local fresh fruit and vegetables is checked in and up to standard before being put out for sale.
Q2) What do you enjoy most about your job?
I can honestly say 'I love my job', I enjoy what I do and meeting new people and the regular customers that I've got to know over the ten years. Its always good to have a catchup and bit of crack with them.
Q3) What does a typical day look like in the Farm Shop?
A typical day is always busy whether I'm filling out stock, ordering stock, serving customers, making up our famous fruit baskets and hampers which are available to order all year round and are very popular your day flies in.
Q4) Primacy Meats is well known for offering fresh, local and seasonal produce. In the Farm Shop you’ll see the produce coming in everyday - which of the produce is your favourite and what would you recommend?
Yes everyday we take delivery of our local fruit and veg every morning. I love the smell of the fresh soup vegetables, there noting tastier than a pot of home-made vegetable soup.
Q5) What would you say marks out the Farm Shop's produce as different from the bigger supermarket's when comparing the fruit, veg etc on offer?
When you compare the likes of cauliflowers, turnips and savoys, the farm shop's would always be larger in size fresh every morning and good value.
Q6) Finally, in 3 words how would you describe the Primacy Farm Shop?
I'd describe the Food Village Farm Shop as local, friendly and quality

At Primacy we aim to provide a great range of products and local produce. Recently we have been really impressed with the great taste and health benefits of Coconut Oil. As a result we are now stocking Coconut Oil at our Primacy Food Village in Bangor! Our customers obviously agree as we have already sold out twice! Not to worry, we have a large order arriving today to keep us well stocked!
The health benefits of coconut oil are impressive! It can help you lose weight, help fight infections lower your cholesterol and is a great source for those really important fatty acids! It can be used as a replacement for butter or cooking oil. You can bake with it, spread it on your toast, make wedges in the oven, shallow fry, add it to your scrabbled eggs and it is perfect for making curries! It doesn't end with cooking and baking... Coconut oil is a brilliant moisturiser and skin healer! I can personally vouch for this! Listed below are a few of the benefits:
Why not give it a go? You can find it our veg shop at our Food Village in Bangor.
On Burns Night guests gather together to enjoy a Burns Supper which normally includes a traditional meal of Haggis served with mashed potatoes (tatties) and mashed turnip (neeps). The great food is washed down with a dram of Scotch whisky as Burns Poetry is recited!
The centrepiece of the evening is the Haggis - it even gets its own address or introduction normally with a Robbie Burns poem!
Haggis is basically a very special sausage and here at Primacy we love sausages! So to mark Burns Night we will have Haggis available to buy anytime at our Food Village in Bangor and in all our Tesco meat counters. We’ll also be serving it in the Village Tearoom on Saturday 24th and Monday 26th. It is a perfect time to try this really tasty and traditional dish especially if it is for the first time!
Here's to Rabbie Burns!
