The farm also keeps about 120 sheep, pigs and around 100 chickens, and grows most of the animals' food itself.
The farm shop has grown from an honesty box into a recently converted old shippon, selling fresh raw milk, farm reared meats and local Devon produce, with the Hayloft cafe alongside. The family are members of the Raw Milk Producers Association and were among the first farms in the area awarded Mid Tier Countryside Stewardship. Campers and self catering guests stay on the working farm in log pods and camping pitches, and the farm hosts an Open Farm Sunday each year with a cream tea.Farm 2 Fork Co.Meat · Budleigh Salterton4.8 (263 reviews)Farm2Fork rears native breed cattle at Dalditch Farm near Budleigh Salterton in Devon, where farmer Ollie White moves the herd daily onto fresh organic pasture.

Their Highland cattle graze organic permanent pasture in a purely pasture fed system, growing slowly to produce deeply flavoured, naturally marbled beef.
Alongside the Highland beef the farm raises free range rare breed Mangalitza pigs and sells wild venison, and its pork mince took Best Food Product at the Food Drink Devon Awards. The farm opens its gates through tractor trailer tours, private farm tours, game cookery sessions and a wild learning holiday club for children, all part of what the family describe as farming harmoniously with nature.
Essebeare FarmMeat · EssebeareEssebeare Farm sits in a hidden Devon valley at Witheridge, within the UNESCO North Devon Biosphere, on ancient Culm grassland meadows, and the farm itself is listed in the Domesday Book. Native Red Ruby and Hereford cattle and hardy Lleyn sheep roam the 90 hectare farm, which is certified organic and Pasture for Life, built around rotational mob grazing, hedge and bank restoration and agroforestry. In five years the meadows have gone from a poor baseline to as many as 15 plant species per square metre, and the family has planted 20,000 hedgerow trees and 300 fruit trees.
The farm sells 100% grass fed, organic and Pasture for Life certified lamb and beef in boxes direct from the farm, along with soft lambswool sheepskins and chunky wool. It is run as a family partnership by Olly and Rachel Walker with Mary Hosier tending the cattle, and around 100 local school children visit each year to learn about its biodiversity.
