The overall aim of Occombe Farm is to reconnect people with food, farming and the countryside and to have a profound effect on the local food culture of South Devon.
The Farm Shop, Butchers, Cafe, Education Centre and Nature Trail shows people how the way food is produced is important for our health, for the environment, for the economy and for society.
Enjoy a real taste of Devon in the Occombe Farm cafe, with award-winning food and drink. Sample fresh, seasonal and local dishes from the farm - all day breakfasts, coffee and cream teas, lunches and roasts.
Occombe provides an example of what is possible and is a catalyst for improving the way food is produced, sold and consumed in our region. We have a very simple belief - that the food we eat shapes the countryside we live in. The choices we make as consumers affect farmers and the way they manage the land.
So, eating food grown by environmentally-friendly farmers is one of the greenest, most wildlife-friendly things you can do!
Walk around the working farm and discover wildlife on the nature trail running through a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Visit the garden for inspirational fruit and vegetable growing ideas and Dig for Victory garden.
Occombe is free to visit, free to park and easy to get to, located just off the A380 Torbay ring road at the junction with Preston, Paignton.
Occombe Farm is run by Torbay Coast & Countryside Trust - a unique local conservation charity dedicated to looking after the wildlife and heritage of Torbay. The Trust manages 1750 acres of land including Occombe Farm, Cockington Country Park, Berry Head National Nature Reserve and the South West Coast Path through Torbay.
