Welcome to Darts Farm Shop, located near Exeter in Devon. Rooted deeply in the local countryside, our farm has been nurtured through generations, embedding a tradition of sustainable and regenerative farming practices. We specialize in producing and offering local Westcountry food and drink along with luxury gift items crafted with care.
Our commitment to maintaining the ecological balance and enhancing soil fertility is evident in our traditional farming methods, which include rotational grazing by our native Ruby Red Devon Cattle. These cattle are an integral part of the ecosystem, grazing along the River Clyst, aiding in carbon sequestration, and enhancing biodiversity during the winter by naturally raising water levels to support wildlife.
We take pride in our zero-waste philosophy and commitment to zero food miles. Our seasonal produce, ranging from vegetables to exotic fruits like melons and chillis, is harvested directly into wooden crates and presented fresh in our market, bypassing the need for packaging. Our livestock, particularly the Ruby Reds, are raised to natural maturity, ensuring premium quality beef with remarkable taste and texture due to traditional dry-aging processes.
The farm shop has evolved from a modest beginning nearly 50 years ago into a distinctive lifestyle shopping destination with a fully operational farm at its core. Our food hall showcases an array of local and artisan products, including exceptional Westcountry cheeses, artisan bread, and world-class chocolates. Additionally, our Fish Shed offers freshly caught fish, providing a gourmet experience with every visit. At Darts Farm, we are not just farmers; we are custodians of a rich heritage and a vibrant, sustainable future.
