Winkleigh Farm

The major oak Robin Hood tree has died, it has stood for 1,200 years ! We are fortunate to have quite a few of the mighty oak trees at Winkleigh Farm. We are unsure of the age but definitely over 100 years old 😀 they make perfect wildlife havens and support the greatest number of species 👍 and all from a small acorn ! This one pictured is small in comparison to others we have, but we love the gnarly trunk

As farmers we care for the trees, flowers and fauna all of which support their own little eco systems

You’ll notice we have an addition to our usual cutting list, this time round we have shin of beef, we have one cut with the bone in and one without. Shin is recommended to be slow cooked and is ideal for pies, stews, ragu and slow cooked chilli 😋 why not give it a try 👍 message or email [email protected] to arrange collection

It’s happing today !! Fresh beef available from 1pm at Winkleigh Farm, feel free to pop in and meet Mia and Michael who will be happy to advise on cuts etc 😀we will have a wide range of cuts, not available in your supermarket! Hope to see you soon - thank you for supporting our small family farm 👍

Only 2 days to go ! With increasing stories reporting imported beef being sold as British beef, beef with potato starch added in our supermarkets and the great red tractor and union jack no longer guarantees of British reared produce it’s time to support your local butchers and farms, why not buy direct from our small beef farm ? We guarantee great tasting quality beef, reared on the farm in Woodbury Salterton East Devon. We have a small herd of the wonderful Ruby Red Devon Cattle, a heritage breed that has been slow grown in a stress free environment, they are a native breed that graze on meadow grass all year giving us tender flavoursome beef, our fresh beef will be available from 1pm on 17th June, pre orders currently being taken, [email protected] or send us a message.

We would love to see you in person so feel free to drop into the farm on Wednesday after 1pm 😀 all beef not sold on the day will go straight to the freezer, so don’t worry if you can’t make the date 👍

The first Robins Pincushion that we’ve seen this year in our hedgerows, typically it grows on dog roses and oak trees. The female gall wasp lays its eggs on the plant/branch and the larvae feeds on the plant within the gall ( completely harmless) fascinating and beautiful 😀

Only 3 days to go !! Fresh beef from our farm reared Ruby Red Devon Cattle , cows that have had a stress free life grazing meadows and meadow grass all year round. Our beef is hung for 30 days giving it extra tenderness 😋 as a small livestock farm this event only happens twice a year ! So join us on the 17th June from 1pm when we’ll be selling our fabulous beef direct to you the customer - pre orders currently being taken: [email protected] or message us👍 Hope to see you soon
