Jarrolds has sought permission from North Norfolk District Council for adaptations at its Jarrolds Letheringsett complex by the A148, near Holt, as it plans to launch a new range of products.
This includes changing the existing covered seating area for the farm shop and café into a retail area to sell a variety of new "lifestyle" items synonymous with the brand.
The firm also hopes to convert another redundant agricultural building on the site into a new covered seating area and for hospitality use to "encourage greater dwell time on the site and support additional events".
Documents said that if the proposal is approved, "it will secure the long-term commercial viability of the Jarrolds Letheringsett complex and provide an enhanced visitor experience".

More than 40 people living near a set of recycling pits in Seething have renewed their objections after a fresh bid was lodged to continue using the waste pools.
White's Recycling is seeking permission from Norfolk County Council to carry on using three lagoons to store organic liquid waste off Upgate Road.
Fears raised included strong odours, noise, flies, and the impact of increased HGV traffic travelling to and from the rural site.
This is the company's third attempt to secure permission for the lagoons, which together hold the equivalent of 11 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
Two previous applications were rejected, including one dismissed last year, following long-running complaints from villagers.
3. Barn 'in state of decay' to be demolished

Wroxham Home Farms, a sixth-generation family farming business, has submitted a proposal to Broadland Council to tear down a barn at Broad House Barn.
The barn - which is currently occupied by Nick Hindle Stonemasons - has been described as "in a state of decay with growth and degradation evident" and damage to its roof and wall materials.
And in its place, the farming firm wants to build a larger two-storey barn which will provide two more business units and "help with the viability of the overall development".
4. Housing scheme given green light

The new houses will be built on the former World of Beds site - which has now been demolished - in Curtis Road near Mile Cross after Norwich City Council approved the revised plans.
Outline planning permission to redevelop the land was granted on March 15 2022 and revised proposals for seven homes were submitted to the council in 2023.
The project will consist of seven three-bedroom homes, comprising of six two-storey houses and one detached chalet bungalow.

Plans to build up to two homes in a village between Dereham and Swaffham have been approved.
The 0.5-acre site consists of "redundant" land and is adjacent to Woodlands on School Lane in Little Dunham.
The proposals requested permission in principle for the development, with more specific details to follow in a technical details application.
Three letters of objection were received from locals, with concerns regarding the "unsustainable location with limited services" in the village.
