Shopping for local farm reared meat

At Lower Campscott we’re trying our best to make shopping local as easy as possible. The meat freezers have been filled with tasty beef cuts from our own Dexter cattle including top quality steaks, burgers, roasting joints and tender braising steak too. Last year’s pigs are this year’s sausages and they are delicious! That may sound harsh but we believe that if you’re going to eat meat then it should be produced to the highest welfare standards and our pigs enjoy a good life on the farm with plenty of space, food, shelter and opportunities to wallow and root around in their paddock. There’s also locally produced chicken and bacon too.

Home cooked meals & delicious cakes

Kathy’s home cooked meals made with our own farm-produced meat are always popular – simply reheat them, then serve and enjoy, ideal after a day exploring or on the beach. Why not finish your meal with some scrummy Farmer Tom’s ice cream? Another Devon treat made on Dunstaple Farm using their own fresh, whole milk, clotted & double cream sourced from local dairies. We stock one litre tubs and small theatre tubs which are ideal for when the family can’t agree on just one flavour!

Apple juice, jams and chutneys

Thanks to a bumper crop last year we have lots of our own lovely farm produced apple juice to put on the shelves. Brendon Hill Crafts will continue to supply us with jams, jellies and chutneys; all made in nearby Barnstaple and we’re keeping it local with sustainably and locally produced charcoal too.

Shopping local for essential groceries

Add to that freshly baked pasties, bread, lots of grocery essentials such as pasta, tinned tomatoes, coffee, tea, sugar, fresh milk, cheese, butter and cereals and you should be able to get pretty much everything you need for your self-catering holiday. No need to shop before you set off on your holiday – simply let us know what you need for your first few meals and we can make sure everything is waiting for you in your cottage or lodge when you arrive.
