Officers are carrying out CCTV and witness enquiries, and anyone with any information or dashcam footage of the incident is asked to contact police.
The owners of the farm shared images of the damage on social media, along with a message that said: "We’re very sorry for our customers but the café is closed until forensics have been because some low lives have decided to break in overnight and take what us normal people have worked so hard to achieve."
Detective Inspector Tracey Martin said: “We are keen to speak to anyone who witnessed the burglary, or may have noticed people acting suspiciously in the vicinity to please get in touch. We also urge people to please check your CCTV and doorbell footage and please share this with us if it captured anything of relevance that will help with this investigation.
“Any information, no matter how small, will help the investigation to help bring the offenders to justice.”
