About Samuel’s Farm Shop & Butchers.
Our Story
Welcome to Samuel's Farm Shop & Butchers, a cherished cornerstone of the Walpole St Andrew, Wisbech community, where tradition is interwoven with exceptional quality. Nestled in the heart of north-west Norfolk, our farm shop and butchery represents more than just a thriving business; it stands as a living tribute to a cherished family legacy, deeply rooted in the rich agricultural heritage of the area.
The name 'Samuel's' holds a special place in our hearts. Founded by Ben and Gemma Human, Samuel's Farm Shop, along with our sister business Brothers In Arms, are lovingly named in honour of Ben's late brother, Samuel who sadly lost his life at a young age.
It only felt right to name the business that was built on the family farm after Samuel, a son, a brother, an uncle, that is deeply missed.
Each aspect of Samuel's Farm Shop & Butchers, from the carefully curated local produce to the expertly handled meats, reflects Ben's dedication to excellence and his deep connection to the Norfolk landscape. At Samuel's Farm Shop & Butchers, you're not just a customer; you're a part of a story that continues to unfold, a story of love, remembrance, and enduring bonds. Welcome to our family.

Our Team
Behind every product at Samuel’s is not just a team, but a family of passionate individuals, each contributing their unique skills and enthusiasm. Steering this dedicated group are Ben and Gemma Human, the dynamic duo at the heart of Samuel’s Farm Shop & Butchers.
Ben, a pillar of the Walpole St Andrew community, wears many hats with remarkable skill and dedication. He is adept in the art of butchery, fervently works the land, and serves as a Watch Manager at the nearby on-call fire station, playing a crucial role in local safety. His commitment to the community is infectious, inspiring other staff members to join the fire service and fostering a culture of service and involvement. Ben's role as a mentor is equally noteworthy; he has nurtured numerous young apprentices, influencing their career paths significantly, with some even pursuing professions like junior doctors.
Gemma is the powerhouse behind the seamless operations of not only Samuel’s Farm Shop & Butchers but also their other venture, Brothers in Arms. Her tireless efforts extend far beyond business management. Gemma is the linchpin of their family, balancing her professional responsibilities with family life. Additionally, her dedication to the well-being of the local community is evident in her role as a Pilates instructor, where she helps residents maintain their health and fitness. Gemma’s ability to juggle these diverse roles with grace and efficiency is nothing short of inspiring.
Our expert butchers bring years of craftsmanship to the table, ensuring top-quality cuts and preparations for our customers. They are the cornerstone of our promise of quality. Our friendly shop staff are the welcoming faces of Samuel’s, always on hand to help you find what you need for any occasion.
