The Watson family have been farming here in the Dart Valley for over forty years. Way back in 1983, Ben started making sausages - made from pigs raised on the farm - and selling at Totnes market - and so the farm shop was born! We now have four thriving shops based throughout Devon.
Good food from good farming
We believe in good, honest food from environmentally sustainable farming. Food should have a story - and because we source ours direct from our trusted producers and growers, we can tell it - from field to fork.
From our award winning sausages to bacon, burgers, gammon and charcuterie everything is made from scratch by our team of skilled butchers, using only the very finest ingredients - the ones we sell in the shops of course! All our meat is organic or free range from farmers who care for their animals to the highest ethical standards.
Our Deli
Our deli counters stock a variety of pies, pasties, salads, cakes and dips - all of which are made from scratch in our farm kitchen.

A Word From Ben
Excuse the mugshot of me but apart from our ethos and our pork and herb sausages, I’ve been the one constant factor over the forty years. I’d like to think I’m a little more photogenic than a banger, however good it might be. Now that the shops carry my name (we couldn’t think of anything else), I’m definitely here to stay.
Our Staverton shop has grown over the years, but as a real farm shop the traditional butcher’s counter and ‘endless harvest festival’ fruit and vegetable areas are still at the heart of things. You’ll also find carefully chosen ranges of provisions, wine, beer, cider, soft drinks, cheese etc. We stock Riverford Organic Dairy products and of course our ‘old favourite’ pies and pasties.
Our shop at Yealmpton was the first outpost back in 1995. Since then it has seen a few changes, all for the better. We put in a proper butcher’s counter to replicate what we do best at Staverton and offer a full range of fresh organic meat as well as our famous sausages and dry cured bacon. Our newly revamped shop space stocks a full range of provisions, drinks, dairy and fish products.
We’re bringing the farm shop to the city, which feels like a good thing to do. Our newest shop features a traditional butcher’s counter selling high quality, local and organic meat, and organic fruit and vegetables from Riverford farm. We also stock a range of our own goods from our farm kitchen – pies, pasties, preserves, soups, dips, cakes and traybakes, and organic dairy products from Riverford dairy. Hot take-away lunches include our own soup, pies, pasties and sausage rolls.
A town seemed like the right place for a shop and we thought we would save people the hassle of driving out to the farm for a quick shop. So we opened our convenience store on Totnes high street. We’ve taken the best organic and local produce from the farm shop and tailored it for those smaller daily and mid-week shops, but you’ll be surprised how much we’ve packed in to a small space. There is also plenty of choice for a take-away lunch with hot soup, rolls, pies and pasties and a great range of fresh cakes from our farm shop kitchen.
