If you’re planning on cooking up a feast of local food for yourself during your stay, you can buy quality local food and drink directly from the growers at local farmer’s markets in the towns.
Pop into Occombe Farm Shop in Paignton, where 75% of products are regionally sourced from the best the West Country has to offer ranging from fresh, chilled and baked foods to wholefoods, local wines, beers, ciders and spirits, and lifestyle and gifts. With minimal single-use plastics, refillables and recycling stations, Occombe Farm Shop offers a local, sustainable shopping experience. You’ll be able to buy milk from a dispenser, wholefoods by weight, meat reared on our doorstep, even sourdough baked on the edge of Dartmoor.
Make sure to pop into the Occombe Farm Cafe too! Surrounded by beautiful countryside and with stunning views across the English Riviera, the cafe is full of locally sourced produce and lots of delicious homemade, creative dishes.
Head to Churston Farm Shop on the road to Brixham where 55% of everything sold in this popular farm shop is sourced from within the local area and you’ll find their delicious own grass-fed 28-day lamb and 28-day hung Aberdeen Angus beef on sale. If you’re visiting the area and want an authentic Devon food experience delivered directly to your door, it’s worth bearing in mind that Churston Farm Shop can also make personalised hampers.
