Strawberry Fields, recently honored as the UK’s best national large farm shop at the Farm Retail Association Awards, epitomizes excellence in farm-to-table freshness and local produce. Located on the Devon & Cornwall border near the A30, this family-owned establishment boasts over three decades of commitment to quality and tradition.
The farm shop and restaurant are the heart of Strawberry Fields, where the scent of freshly baked bread from the in-house bakery greets visitors each morning. This bakery, alongside a vibrant deli and butcher, offers an extensive range of homemade products including various types of bread, saffron cakes, and award-winning pasties made daily from home-reared Ruby Red beef.
Freshness is a cornerstone of the farm’s philosophy, evident in the daily harvest of seasonal fruits and vegetables used both for retail and in the restaurant’s dishes. The produce section features a collection of the freshest vegetables, often picked the same day they are sold.
Strawberry Fields is also known for its commitment to animal welfare, raising free-range Ruby Red cattle and lamb, and ensuring all livestock is well cared for and traceable. The butchery reflects this ethos, offering expertly handled and cut meats that can be purchased in-store or delivered directly from the farm.
In addition to its culinary offerings, the farm is a family destination with activities such as strawberry and flower picking, and a golden strawberry hunt for children, complete with a visit to the farm barn where animals, games, and a play area await.
The farm’s dedication to its roots is further showcased in its jam room, where visitors can observe the production of various jams and chutneys made with homegrown ingredients. The on-site bees not only contribute to the perfect shape of the strawberries but also produce honey, available for visitors to see at the observation hive in the farm shop.
Strawberry Fields not only adheres to Red Tractor Certification standards but also strives to continuously listen to its customers and evolve its offerings to provide an unmatched farm shopping and dining experience.
