Who we are
About the farm
We run a family nursery, soft fruit farm and vineyard at Shillingford St. George, 1.5 miles from the Exeter city boundary. On 8 acres (about 3 ha) we grow soft fruit and plums without chemical sprays and sell them fresh or frozen and as our own jams; we also offer apple juice and honey from our own hives. In our nursery we grow perennials, herbs, shrubs, bedding plants and hanging baskets. Planted in 1979, the 5-acre Manstree Vineyard has the oldest commercially productive vines in Devon; we sell its grapes to local wineries.

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.
