Fantastic produce that doesn’t cost the earth.

Having spent the past decade growing and delivering our organic veg boxes to you. We are well placed offering, an expanded range and delivery service to offer you a more complete groceries solution.

The highest quality groceries, direct from the producers to your door.

Over the years we have met and worked with some very knowledgeable people in the food sector and it is only natural that we should want to work closely with them to develop both our and their businesses together. Our policy still remains the same; we source the majority of our premium products from local, sustainable organic producers to bring you the best in tasty ethically produced food and household items. Everything we offer we try ourselves first to make absolutely sure we are happy to put our name to it, during that process we have found some non-organic products we feel are worthy of inclusion.

Of course we still offer our ever popular vegetable boxes but now offer much more of what we think you would like to see. To visit the shop for a browse or to start shopping please click here

Our product range is continually being updated, if you feel something is missing, let us know and we will try to stock it.

As well as the growing we do out in our fields we are starting to grow a sense of community around activities here at the farm. With the help of the ubiquitous facebook and twitter we can now communicate with you directly, keep you informed about what's happening here and more importantly hear what you have to say so we can continue to grow with your needs.

    The Bronze turkey is a traditional breed renowned for its excellent flavour and texture. Our turkeys have been reared Free Range from one day old at Bickham Farm, ranging in the field during the day and housed in a spacious barn on a deep bed of straw at night. Rearing turkeys on a free range system allows them to mature slowly with the freedom to roam and eat a more varied diet.

This years turkeys are £5.00/lb. Your bird is oven ready (in other words there is no wastage) and comes with giblets. We require a 2.5lb weight margin, turkeys do not grow to exact sizes. We will endeavour to get as close to your desired weight as possible.

Please note that all turkeys are to be picked up from Bickham Farm, with the exception of mail order.
     
 
   

Dexter cattle originated in the south west of Ireland, descended from the predominately black cattle of the Atlantic seaboard, as is the Kerry breed. Dexter cattle were first introduced into England in 1882.

The breed is the smallest British Breed. It is dual purpose, with the average weight of a cow being some 300-350 kgs and standing 96 and 111 cms at the rump. There are two types, short legged and non short legged, both of which have equal merit. I have a mixture of both. The breed comes in three colours. Black predominates but red and dun are not rare.

Dexter cattle are extremely maternal, giving good milk quality and calving problems are rare, newly born calves are quick to rise.

The carcass is early maturing, the beef is of excellent quality and flavour with good marbling. Dexters finish on grass and this is most important. My cattle do not eat any supplements, the meat is very popular with you the consumer because of its outstanding flavour, small joints and minimal waste. The animals are slaughtered locally and the carcass is hung for a full three weeks, to maximise the flavour and tenderise the meat further. To try some go the shop. It may not always be available but you will join a list and be told when you can expect your fantastic box of mixed cuts of beef.

Two long-established native breeds of South-West England, the South Devon and Devon Longwool, were amalgamated in 1977 to form the Devon and Cornwall Longwool. The breed is dual-purpose, producing a good carcass lamb and heavy fleece of wool. It is particularly suitable for the production of heavy lambs finished on fodder crops for the winter marker, while the hard-wearing quality of the wool renders it valuable for carpet manufacture.

It is a large animal with rams weighing well over 100 kg. Both sexes are polled. The head and body are well covered in long curly, white wool. The average fleece weight for a ewe is 7 kilos and rams around 12 kilos but some fleeces have been known to weigh almost 20 kilos. Unusually for a British sheep breed Devon and Cornwall Longwools are shorn as lambs, producing a particularly warm, resilient and valuable fleece.

I have a small flock, the ewes are sold for breeding and the Rams are sold for meat and will appear from time to time on the website, go to the shop to see if there is any available.
