Linscombe Farm is situated in a quiet valley in the heart of rural Mid Devon, 4 miles from the small market town of Crediton. Nestled in amongst the rolling hills typical of the area, nearly half of the farm is permanent grassland that is home to an incredible array of plants, animals, bugs and fungi. Some 30 of the farm’s 64 acres are currently used for the production of vegetables and the loamy soil seems to impart an exceptional flavour to whatever is grown in it. More recently in 2006 we acquired a further 120 acres of Red Devon soil on the boundary of the parishes of Upton Pyne and Newton St Cyres, just 4 miles from central Exeter. After two years of organic conversion, this land has recently acheived its full organic status on 1st September 2008 and some of our later maturing crops have been grown here this season.

We aim to provide the best possible seasonal produce to local people who care about what they eat and where it comes from. As much as we can, we aim to manage the growing process ourselves, so that we can control the quality of our produce at every stage. With Linscombe produce, from the seed to your table, you can be confident in the origin of your vegetables. The aim of this is to provide the freshest possible vegetables, so that the families who buy them get the full health benefits, whilst genuinely reducing food miles.

Due to increasing demand for out of season favourites like tomatoes, exotic vegetables such as sweet potatoes and other produce that we don’t have the facilities to grow such as mushrooms and fruit, we may buy in produce from other organic farms. Linscombe Farm has been certified organic by the Soil Association for the last 12 years.

We do not aim to compete with the supermarkets. We believe that “Local Food for Local People” should mean just that. We also aim to produce top quality food at a fair price - there is plenty of “cheap” food available but we believe that this comes with a hidden price tag that is paid by the health of the consumer and the environment.

Linscombe Farm is run as a traditional family farming partnership with Mum (Helen) and Dad (Phil) ably assisted by four strapping sons - Tom (7 years old but impatient to be 15 so he can drive the tractor), David (considered a good bet to replace our accountant) and James (aiming at the sales and customer relations position) who are both 4. Baby Sam was born in July 2008. (We also directly employ 8 people to help us!).
