Fordmore Farm Shop and Cafe

Taste Mid Devon: From Field to Fork with Fordmore Farm Shop

Situated just outside of Cullompton, Fordmore Farm Shop and Café is a family run and owned farm shop, selling the best Devon has to offer.

Embracing organic farming for nearly three decades, Fordmore Farm Shop is a stronghold for sustainability and animal welfare. They work closely with small farmers who share their values, ensuring that their meat is not only delicious but aligns with their ethical standards. They also farm their own herd of Longhorn cows, which are free to roam out on Mid Devon pasture for the majority of their lives.

Longhorns are a slow-growing British breed and boast a variety of brindle colours, from red to grey, with a distinctive white line or “finching” along their backs and tails. Unlike other breeds that mature in just 18 months, Longhorns take between 2.5 to 3 years to reach full maturity.

At Fordmore Farm Shop, a commitment to working in harmony with the natural environment is paramount. The ethos revolves around not pushing these remarkable cows beyond their natural capabilities, allowing them to lead fulfilling lives roaming on Mid Devon’s organic pastures. They enjoy the occasional top-up of home-grown silage, ensuring a sustainable and ethical approach.

When you choose Longhorn beef from Fordmore Farm Shop, you’re not just selecting a superior product; you’re supporting a philosophy that prioritizes the well-being of the animals and the environment.

Fordmore are dedicated to quality and sustainability; producing a significant amount of goods from their own farm, whilst the rest is sourced from local suppliers. From fruit and vegetables to dairy, deli goods, bakery treats, and artisanal chutneys and jams – their offerings are a celebration of seasonal, locally sourced treasures.

Indulge in the farm-to-table experience at Fordmore, where their commitment to quality extends to home-cooked delights, including mouth-watering burgers that capture the essence of their carefully curated ingredients.

The farm shop also has on-site animals and a play park for kids – making it perfect for a day out with the family. You can grab some lunch, do a spot of shopping and let the kids enjoy some playtime. And, make sure to keep an eye out for the upcoming launch of their new fish shop!
