Who we are
About the farm
In East Stour near Gillingham, Dorset, on the edge of the Blackmore Vale, our family has farmed since 1938; our farm shop was opened in 2005 by farmers Jane and Brian Down. On our farm across the road we rear our own cattle and sheep, and their meat is sold at our butchery counter and served in our restaurant. Our shop has a butchery and fish counter and a deli with pies, cakes and ready meals made in our own kitchen, alongside produce from Dorset and the surrounding counties; together with our restaurant and coffee shop we are open 7 days a week. We offer local delivery and also ship by courier across mainland UK.

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.
