ST & VA Shepherd warehouses and farming, Riccall, York

ST & VA Shepherd is a company located in Riccall, York where it has been located for just under 30 years. The company started off with storage of beans and various other produce from across the world. It had a phase where farming was the dominant part of the business. A beauty salon owned by the company has also been a large part as well. The farming aspect has fallen away in the last five years due to the price of produce falling to such a low level.

It is housed in a linked group of three warehouses extending to approximately 14,000 ft² situated south of York in North Yorkshire off the A19 near Escrick set in a one acre private site.

The buildings were previously used as storage/distribution and blending factory for pet food industry (worldwide distribution).
