New Chapel Farm Stockist in Mid-Wales

Welcome to newest member of the Chapel Farm team, stockist Graham Humphreys based in Llandyssil, Powys who sent us this photo and short profile.

“Since the age of 10 when I helped to train my first pet, a Terrier – I have had a keen interest in working dogs.
In the 43 years since then I have owned and trained over 30 dogs, trying to get the perfect team for picking up at the Shoots that I attend.

As owner of the local Bakery I have little free time, but recently gave some of it up to turn my hobby into a side-line, offering obedience training to some of the local dog owners and stocking Chapel Farm dog food.”

Donna and Ace at World Agility Championships

Donna Kerse took the time this morning this morning to e-mail Chapel Farm to thank us for the sponsorship we provide by supplying food for her competition dogs and for providing the energy they need to compete at the highest level. This was very good of her when you consider that she is rather busy as she is about to compete with “Ace” in the World Agility Open Championships in the Netherlands which start today.

Qualification in itself was a fabulous achievement and on behalf of all at Chapel Farm, our best wishes and good luck to Donna and Ace. We hope you enjoy every minute.

Increased Availability for Northern Ireland Customers

Whilst we receive many enquiries from Northern Ireland it has not been practical for us to deliver website orders there due to high delivery costs.

Lyn and Neil Aicken, Northern Ireland, Newtownards based Chapel Farm Stockists have also received many enquiries from those who stay too far away to collect food in person.

Following some research they have created and just launched the website www.dogfoodni.co.uk and are now able to deliver Chapel Farm Dog Food to the whole of Northern Ireland next working day for a remarkably low cost which will be of great benefit to those who live some distance from a stockist. Well worth a look and our best wishes to Lyn and Neil for success with this new venture.
