Oakcroft is a small family-run farm in West Devon dedicated to producing top quality meat in a way that is both welfare friendly and environmentally sensitive. We also produce Baked Goods - traditional style pasties, pies and sausage rolls which are all hand made by us, using our own special recipes and of course containing only our own top quality meats. They are baked on the day of sale, so that you can be assured that you are buying the freshest and tastiest baked goods available!

Our animals are farmed and processed in a traditional, non-intensive manner, and are all fed on a natural additive-free diet. We mix the animal feed ourselves from locally grown crops to suit our old fashioned breeds, and do not use growth promoters or routine antibiotics. We believe in farming with slow-grown traditional breeds of animal, because it is better both for the welfare of the animals and unbeatable flavour and succulence.  We never buy in meat from other producers – all our meat is from home grown animals. This means that our supply is subject to seasonal change and variety, as a traditionally managed farm should be, and that you can be assured that you are always buying genuine home-grown produce.

We have our own on-farm poultry abattoir so the birds have no travel stress, and our larger animals are taken to a small family run abattoir nearby. This is important both for the welfare of the animal and the reduction of the environmental impact by keeping 'food-miles' low. We cut and pack everything in our own on-farm facility and sell it ourselves at local Farmers Markets. This is a purely family-run business, so we can guarantee that when you buy from us  you will be speaking to someone who has been directly involved in the process, from birth right through to the end product you see on the stall.

North Down Farm is a small traditional mixed livestock farm situated 4 miles from Crediton, run by Jim Vine and Judith Killen who breed rare-breed pedigree Gloucester Old Spot Pigs, Devon Ruby Cattle and Shetland Sheep.

We produce outdoor free-range pork, bacon, ham, gammon, sausage, chops, salami etc which we sell at Crediton Farmers Market. We also produce lean and tender lamb and mutton, and succulent Devon Ruby beef, as well as 100% apple juice from the farm orchard which we sell direct from the farm and at other markets. Our aim is to provide an exceptional product with a personal service to all our customers.

All our animals are born on the farm and reared as naturally as possible in a non-intensive, traditional way. This allows them to grow at their own pace, enjoying an outdoor and free-range life. We use rotational grazing between our sheep and cattle and we don't use pesticides. Our only fertiliser comes from the livestock themselves. Our pig feed and straw is grown on a neighbouring arable farm so we have no food-miles. We believe in giving all our animals the happiest life possible so they are relaxed and stress-free. This also produces the finest meat.

 We can provide individual packs and joints as well as meat boxes. We can also prepare and cut our meat precisely to your order. Just let us know what you want. By establishing your requirements as early as we can, we are able to provide the freshest meat possible as well as keeping our prices down. We also supply local restaurants and have mail order customers across the country.

You can see lots of photos of the animals and the farm on our website www.northdownfarm.com together with up-to-date price lists and all our news.

We are RSPCA Freedom Food inspected and accredited.

Redlands Country Pork is run by Glyn & Christina Comont. Our aim is to provide top quality pork products at prices people can afford, whilst giving a fair return on our effort and expertise.  Our 110-acre family farm nestles in the red hills of Mid-Devon, at the top of a wildlife-rich valley.  We rear pigs, cattle and sheep, the latter two sold through direct orders, the pigs through the market.  We farm in a traditional way to maintain a fertile and healthy environment: we do not use pesticides, preferring instead to rely on natural predators to control pests and diseases in our crops.  Our sows are reared outdoors, in a traditional rotation of grass, pigs, and corn.  When piglets are weaned, they are brought into deep-bedded yards designed for maximum comfort.  This gives us very healthy animals which don't require the use of prophylactic drugs.  However, occasionally animals fall ill, and we then do whatever is necessary to bring them back to health as quickly as possible. 

Redlands Country Pork has a unique flavour developed through breeding and very high welfare conditions, which are monitored by Assured British Pigs.  We produce up to 15 varieties of high quality, high meat content sausages (including gluten free), pork & apple burgers, joints, including 'bone-in' joints for even better cooking qualities, peppered steaks, diced pork, minced pork, and pork steaks.  We also cure our pork to produce gammon, gammon steaks, and bacon, both green and smoked using a traditional Wiltshire cure.

We also offer 5, 10, and 20 Kg meat boxes, cut to your requirements.  Our products can be obtained from Crediton Farmers Market, or direct from the farm gate.  Delivery charge is dependant on distance, or you can collect from the farm or the market. If you have any suggestions on how we could improve our range, please let us know!
