Ben’s Farm Shops

Ben’s Farm Shops are a celebrated Devon institution rooted in over forty years of sustainable farming, artisan butchery and local food culture. What began with Ben Watson selling sausages at Totnes Market in 1983 has grown into a collection of thriving farm shops across Staverton, Yealmpton, and Totnes, each championing organic, free‑range and responsibly sourced produce from Devon’s farmers, growers and makers.

A Farm Shop Filled With the Best of Devon’s Produce

At the heart of each Ben’s Farm Shop is a strong commitment to good, honest food and sustainable farming. Their shops offer a generous, beautifully curated range of local and seasonal produce sourced directly from trusted suppliers across the region.

Inside the shops, you’ll find:

Traditional butcher’s counters featuring organic or free‑range meat, including their award‑winning sausages, dry‑cured bacon, burgers, gammon and charcuterie made entirely from scratch by their own skilled butchers.
A vibrant harvest‑style fruit and vegetable selection, with seasonal, local produce piled high.
Deli counters offering handmade pies, pasties, salads, dips and freshly baked cakes from their farm kitchen.
Local provisions, including Riverford Organic Dairy products, artisan cheeses, ciders, ales, pantry goods and baked breads.
Organic and free‑range vegetables and meats sourced from farmers who prioritise high animal welfare and environmental sustainability.

This is a place where customers can genuinely shop local, confident that every product has a clear story of provenance and responsibility.
