Our Mission
Occombe Farm aims to reconnect people with food, farming and the countryside. Our unique setting and combination of open organic farm, education centre, farm shop, butchery, bakery, café, nature trail, events and interactive media demonstrates how the food we eat shapes the countryside we live in.
Nowhere else in the region can you get this close to local wildlife, experience the day-to-day workings of an organic open farm and sample authentic Devon food and drink.
All profits from Occombe Farm go towards the conservation work of Torbay Coast & Countryside
Trust.
