There are plans to continue the diversification of Glenavon Farm in Saltford.

The site at Bath Road is already home to the popular Flourish Foodhall and Kitchen, and its associated homeware and gift shop and pottery barn.
There is also a dog walking business based at the farm.
A planning application has now been lodged with Bath & North East Somerset Council by Glenavon Farm Partnership seeking prior approval to change the use of the remaining agricultural buildings that are capable of conversion for leisure and/or commercial purpose.
The farming business will be solely based and run from the applicant’s main farmstead at Burnett.
Flourish opened in Saltford in 2021 as a people and planet-focused destination to eat and shop. Since then, the business has expanded and last year a second site was acquired.
What was Farleigh Road Farm Shop at Norton St Philip was transformed into Flourish at Farleigh Road.
In March 2025, Flourish opened its own production kitchen, supplying both sites with homemade Scotch eggs, sausage rolls, sponge cakes, cookies and more using local ingredients.
Flourish was recently named as one of the best places to work by The Sunday Times for the second year, along with its wholesale partner Cotswold Fayre.
The deadline for people to comment on the change of use of more buildings at Glenavon Farm is 17th July.
The planning reference is 25/02347/PACOU.
