Farm Shop
If you’re going to run a farm shop from your farm, you might as well do it properly. Lobbs’ Farm Shop has done exactly that with a shop is stuffed to the rafters with produce from their own Kestle Farm and other local businesses.
Kestle Farm is 850 acres of traditional, mixed, non-intensive family-run farmland with their livestock operation approved to the Freedom Food scheme. The beef is from their own Limousin and South Devon herd, fed on barley and grass, slaughtered locally and butchered on-farm and hung for between 2-3 weeks. Their lamb is Poll Dorset-cross, and is also butchered and hung on-farm. They buy in pork from local farms, mostly outdoor-reared rare-breeds such as Gloucester Old Spot. All their meat is fully traceable.
They grow and sell all their own vegetables, including rarer varieties such as Romanesco cauliflower. Their delicatessen has recently been extended and now you can find own-made pies, quiches and sausage rolls, various cheeses as well as bread from nearby Martin’s Bakery. Local produce includes preserves, smoked fish, beers and wines from Camel Valley, amongst others. They do offer fresh fish, by way of Newlyn fish market, but only on Fridays when they can be sure the catch is fresh.
Opening hours: Mon-Sat 9.30am - 5.30pm | Sun 10.30am - 4.30pm | Winter (1st October) 9.30am - 5.00pm Monday to Saturday
