<p>Oh yes, and I love Eversfield too! Thanks for flagging them up x</p>


<p>Ooh thanks for letting me know &#8211; will check it out x</p>


<p>Yes you have! Fordmore Farm Shop near Cullompton is a relatively new kid on the block but is fantastic. Cafe and petting farm too. On the A373 direction of Honiton from J28 M5 at Cullompton. <a href="https://www.fordmorefarmshop.co.uk" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.fordmorefarmshop.co.uk</a></p>


<p>Yiu missed Eversfield two Farm shops in Tavistock and Totnes</p>

<p>Parking, shopping and good food, it’s all here while you refresh &#8211; either just to pick up a gluten-free bake from Flapjackery, or to have a proper sit down in a waitress-service café. The PM stopped here earlier this year while on a whistlestop tour (but don’t let that put you off.) There’s also a play park for the kids to let off steam, along with farm animals to see. It’s also just a short step from here into the wilds of the Devon countryside.</p>

<p>The Dart brothers&#8217; fabulous upmarket food hall, rammed with local producers, including Quicke&#8217;s cheese,  Luscombe Drinks, Otter Vale jams and preserves, Exe Coffee Roasters (and Muddy&#8217;s favourite panettone which comes tied with a cute fluffy red pompom). Tuck into Chunk of Devon pies, Good Game charcuterie and delicious Sharpham cheeses, local meat from their in-house butchery and an excellent range of local spirits and wines from around the globe. You can nosey around the Fired Earth concession, order on trend bouquets from the Flower Shack and have a mooch in Cotswolds Outdoor but note the toy department has closed to make way for another foodie offering opening soon. We recently revived their newest foodie offering, <a href="https://devon.muddystilettos.co.uk/spotlight/review-the-farm-table-darts-farmtopsham/">The Farm Table</a>, and its heaving with tasty home-grown produce from their mixed rotational farm and quality curated suppliers.</p>

<p>What used to be Riverford Farm Shops are still in the family, but now named for Guy&#8217;s brother Ben, including four marvellous stores stuffed with organic Riverford veg and dairy. Apart from the usual suspects you can find some rather tempting wine, local gin and organic Barnaby&#8217;s Brewhouse pilsner, fab Almond Thief bakery bites, plus Ben&#8217;s own-brand ice-cream. You can click and collect from all four shops, or delivery is all south of Dartmoor, between Plymouth to Exeter.</p>

<p>Farming and fishing go hand-in-hand for this Taste of the West award-winning farm shop and cafe, so here&#8217;s your place if you want to swerve the Morrison&#8217;s fish counter, with premium fish including turbot and Dover sole and shellfish on the menu. Plus, they do a variety of meat and veg boxes and deliver free for orders over £50. The café and takeaway fish and chips looks really tempting, and I always love to grab a bunch of reasonably priced but often unusual flowers from the buckets by the entrance.</p>

<p>If I&#8217;m heading Dorset-way I always stop at Millers, not just for the joy of scooping up home-grown juicy apples and veggies into brown paper bags but for personal faves I struggle to find elsewhere, especially Bunnies Love chutneys (Antonia&#8217;s home-made carrot chutney and I have a thing going on) but also the biccies and yogurts the Miller family curate from over the Channel in France. Creamy lemon yogs in little glass jars, so retro and delicious. </p>

<p>Ever the real deal, the newly extended Strawberry Fields is full to busting with their own fruit and veg, laid-that-day eggs, a dedicated baker pulling fresh bread and pastries from their ovens, homemade pies and quiche, home-reared South Devon beef, lamb and local pork, plus oodles of chutneys and preserves made with apples from the family&#8217;s own orchards. Plus, a second Strawberry Fields opened in 2023 at Buckfastleigh, smaller but good for takeaway or a stop-off when you&#8217;re whizzing down the A38 Devon Expressway, where you&#8217;ll also find EV charging.</p>

<p>Taste of the West award-winning mill and farm shop, open daily for fresh baked bread, scones, and deli items, and they remain milling regularly to ensure plenty of flour for your bake-ins. John Torode was spotted using their flour on <em>Saturday Kitchen</em> recently and Tallulah, the vintage horse-box is open for delicious takeaway coffee and cakes.</p>

<p>This farm shop has had a few owners over the years and now with the departure of Tom and Leanne, we have an old hand at the farm shop wheel &#8211; Otterton Mill, which bodes very well for Powderham. They have taken over ownership of the on-site Orangery Café to add to their own in-store cafe, as well as stocking their usual local deli, butchery and Otterton Mill bakery fare, estate venison, local gin and spirits and cool kitchenware. With the <a aria-label="Urban &amp; Rural (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.urbanandruralplants.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Urban &amp; Rural</a> plant centre next door, it&#8217;s an interesting place for a mooch and a local Owens Coffee when you&#8217;re walking or biking along the Exe estuary too.</p>

<p>This quirky little number is Taste of the West approved, thanks to the amazing range of gourmet mushrooms Dave and Scott grow on site, plus they&#8217;ve just launched a new visitor centre where you can take a <a aria-label="Grow Your Own Tour (opens in a new tab)" href="https://forestfungi.co.uk/product/grow-your-own-tour/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Grow Your Own Tour</a> (when we&#8217;re not in lockdown) of the &#8216;shrooms behind the scenes.

They have just opened a stunning new glass-sided eatery which if the amount of cars I saw trying to get in the car park last weekend, then it&#8217;s worth making a beeline for.</p>

<p>Something about this Taste of the West award-winning farm shop always reminds me of being in the States, the wooden veranda out front, the Aladdin&#8217;s cave of gifts, organic bathtime smellies, children&#8217;s toys and quirky housey things for your home. I can spend hours rummaging round in here, and the food&#8230;do not miss their home-made gooey choccie brownies, and homity pies, and they&#8217;re good for home-made meals and deliver around the Ottery area (min £40) too.</p>

<p>A big Muddy tick for this lovely rustic farm shop open for delivery across North Devon (there&#8217;s also their shop in Combe Martin), selling local grown and free range produce, including hand-reared meat and homemade sausages (including gluten-free) from their own farm, farmhouse butter and local Stapleton Greek dairy yogurt (and clotted cream!), fresh bread, small batch local gin and wines curated by Ottery&#8217;s Christopher Piper. </p>
