Who we are

About the farm

We farm at Taverners Farm, Lower Brenton, in the Haldon Valley near Kennford just outside Exeter; the Taverner family has farmed here for 100 years – Robert and Helen have run the farm for the last 25 years, and their son Will joined in 2016 as the fifth generation. We keep our own dairy herd of 300 cows – the cows graze outdoors for most of the year and the calves are born and reared on the farm – as well as sheep, pigs and hens, and we are introducing regenerative farming practices. Helen makes our award-winning ice cream fresh on site with milk from our cows, served from Easter to early September in our Orange Elephant ice cream parlour and at our drive-thru; we also let six holiday cottages in the converted old barns.

Who are you?

As a producer, use the email address on your farm profile.

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.

Is this your farm?

If this is your farm, you can take over the profile: click the button and enter your e-mail address. If it matches the address stored for the farm or the website's domain, you receive an edit link at once; otherwise we verify you with an SMS code sent to the farm's known phone number, or with a short manual check. The link is valid for 30 days; your changes appear immediately marked "under review" and become final after approval.
