Organic Food

Devon leads the way in encouraging organic farming - with nearly 400 farms in the county it has the highest number of organic farms and, with over 30,000 hectares, the highest concentration of land certified organic in the UK.

A superb array of delicious, fresh, local, seasonal food is now being supplied by thriving local farms and businesses to meet the growing demand for high quality organic produce.

Who hasn't heard of the River Cottage and its wonderful food? But there are many others hot on the path of excellence - over 150 gained awards in the Taste of the West Awards 2006 for the sheer quality of their food.

From lamb to lemonade, Devon's food businesses have a passion about their work and we are proud to offer our visitors such a choice of enticing and healthy food. Find it in farm shops, farmers' markets, restaurants, pubs and vegetable boxes.
