SOUTH HAMS: New Farm Shop at Occombe
Torbay Coast & Countryside Trust: We’re opening a brand new Occombe Farm Shop, in Paignton, this August…
We’ve extended and refitted the former shop to create a much bigger and better space, 3 times the former size!
The new Occombe Farm Shop will showcase the very best produce the West Country has to offer. There’ll be a massive 6,000 product range including fresh and wholefoods, wines, spirits, beers and ciders, bakery and deli, and lifestyle and gifts.
Our team has spent months seeking out the cream of our region’s crop, listening to producer stories and tasting and sampling, to select an exceptional, handpicked product range. We have all loved the journey and now can’t wait to share it with you!
We’re planning a range of farm-cooked picks for our deli and across our product selection we’ve looked to minimise single-use plastics and incorporate refillables and recycling. We promise a very special, local shopping experience; one where you’ll be able to buy milk from a dispenser, wholefoods by weight, meat reared on our doorstep, even sourdough baked on the edge of Dartmoor.
The remodelling and relaunch of Occombe Farm Shop is part of our wider scheme to regenerate Occombe Farm as a brand new, all weather, year-round, farm visitor attraction. The visitor attraction will be a mix of indoor and outdoor activities for all the family. Occombe Farm Park & Play will incorporate exploratory and inspirational indoor play for children aged 2 – 12 years, an outdoor jumping pillow feature and a self-guided animal trail with animal encounters barn and farm animal paddocks. The visitor attraction is planned to open later this year.
Shopping and visiting Occombe will raise funds towards Torbay Coast & Countryside Trust’s care of the many treasured green places and spaces in Torbay. Simply buying a loaf of locally baked bread, a slice of home-made cake or a bottle of locally produced wine will help support the charity’s important care of Torbay’s beautiful natural heritage; for wildlife and for people, for generations to come; Good times that do good!
