Who we are
About the farm
Led by Andy Portch and his sons, we have farmed our 300-acre (c. 121 ha) family-run organic dairy farm near Bruton in Somerset for three generations, and our butchery and farm shop have been on site for nearly four decades. We bottle our own organic raw milk fresh every day, gently pasteurise some of it on site in small batches, make natural yoghurt and sell our own organic Dexter beef. Our shop also offers West Country lamb, pork, chicken and game, cheeses, cured meats, fresh fruit and vegetables, and pies and ready meals made by our chef. For over three decades we have also had a stall every Saturday at Barnes Farmers Market in London.

Write a review
How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
