A great place to stock up for your holiday in Devon, they supply locally produced meat, cheese, pies, pasties and a great variety of freshly baked bread. You can also get dairy products here and samples are available should you wish to "try before you buy".
The philosophy at this friendly, family-run shop is to reduce food miles to food metres. Stocks everything from veg to wine to fish to continental goodies.
Ronald Dart started selling fruit and veg from a small hut at the bottom of his field in the 1970s. One of the first farms in the country to run pick your own fruit and vegetables, today Darts Farm is run by Ronald's three sons, with a master butcher, fishmonger, baker, deli, cider maker and restaurant onsite as well as fishing ponds, a maze and farm walks. You can also now hire bikes and cycle the beautiful Exe Estuary cycle trail. Darts Farm was listed in the 2011 Times "Britain's Best Farm Shop" guide.
You will find something for everyone here with pretty gardens to sit in and enjoy a cream tea to pick your own fruit to keep the kids occupied. The farm shop serves local produce including home made pies and of course pasties!
Why not visit the on site cafe where chilli holds a prominent place on the menu. There is also a show tunnel and lots of interesting chilli products for sale in the farm shop, add a bit of zing to your culinary delights!
The Kitley branch of the popular Riverford Farm Shops is stocked with local goodies. Fresh fish, a butchers' counter, West Country cheeses. Grab some ingredients and whip yourself up a culinary masterpiece. Or enjoy their scrumptuous delights in the cafe.
We love the name and the fishmonger who The Classic Team found while scouting for ingredients to bake a Stargazey Pie (a traditional Cornish pie made with sardines or herrings poking their heads out of the pastry at the sky). There's a good selection of fish here, and if you fancy trying your hand at foraging while you're in the area, ask Nick behind the counter - he knows his do's from his deadly don'ts.
Delicious cakes and earthy farmhouse cooking inspired by nearby Dartmoor. Don't forget to pick up a freshly baked cake while you're here.
The farm shop retails from modern spacious and well appointed premises. Quality fresh produce and artisan foods. The cafe's good too.
