The farm shop sells their own free range eggs, vegetables grown on the farm, jams and marmalades made in the shop, 'ready meals' made in the restaurant as well as the more usual produce that is more widely available in farm shops across Devon. There is a great little comfy area for children with a sofa and toys - perfect for letting them play while the mummy's enjoy a well deserved cuppa and a chat! The rest of the cafe is also very cosy and comfortable. A perfect stop after a wild walk on Haytor!

Driving back to Bristol from Devon, you may spot an unusual orange elephant by the side of the…read moreroad, with a sign saying 'Ice Cream Parlour, Next Left'. We followed the directions and found ourselves on a long dirt road that seemed to go on forever, but we finally made it to Taverners Farm and the much-anticipated Orange Elephant Ice Cream Parlour. It's actually a nice place, with loads of room indoors for groups of people and screaming kids high on sugar. There are some seats outside for sunny days, and plenty of parking. We thought there would be more choice of ice cream flavours, and were keen to try the 2014 award-winning salted caramel, but it was unavailable. Still, we went for two-scoop chocolate waffle cones (about £7) and enjoyed them. But this is no Marshfield Farm Ice Cream.

Been shopping here for many years now, and seen it grow from your basic selection of local…read morevegetables, cheeses and meats to a wide selection of all sorts of items - food & drink, domestic and the odd homeware. Most of what they sell is local - I live in Silverton for example, just around the corner, and often see food from my own village for sale on their shelves. Ironically this means the food I buy there has had to travel extra food miles before I get it back to the village for supper! Quality is usually very good, and though they can't be quite as 'perfect' as the supermarkets they're often cheaper and they leave them in the dust flavour wise. Take the organic carrots for example - they actually - shock horror - taste of carrot. If you're used to buying plastic wrapped bags from your local Tesco you really should try some of what the Exe Valley farm shop has to sell for a change - you'll rediscover just how food should taste again.

The large parking area has been…read morecolonised by numerous chickens and guinea fowl as well as a tribe of cats, making driving in a precision, painstaking business. But it is worth it as the vegetables, fruit and other produce are excellent quality and sensibly priced. Apart from vegetables, there is a fresh, local meat section, various prepacked dressings and other foods, etc,, a pet supply section and various drinks.

This monthly farmer's market is the reason Crediton still calls itself a market town. I'll leave it…read moreup to the reader to decide if this is valid or not. The market sells very high quality foods and makes sure you know it with extremely high prices. I am not sure how many of the regular vendors are actually farmers, I have yet to find a farm that regularly harvests ceramic pots! And other regulars seem more itinerant local trades than farmers. Apart from the prices, which are ridiculous, the main problem with the market is that it is only once a month so you cannot make a habit of buying those things you are willing to pay a premium for and you are left to feel a little as though you are being treated to 'crumbs from the top table' once a month. I would rather use local farm shops that are more genuine and much better value for money.

Has a good range of fruit and veg and tend to stock lots of locally sourced goods including daffodils from the Tamar valley which are always great value at a £1 a bunch and last for at least 10 days - one of the highlights of spring. Service is quick and friendly. Not as wide a range as Stokes on the main street but I think the quality is better and the prices more reasonable. Also more likely to find unusual things like purple cauliflowers here. Don't tend to feature many 'end-of-day' bargains or similar.
