Wonnacott Farm - Devon Organic Produce
Our farm is small and traditional, run by our family and tucked away in the Devon countryside.
Between us, we are the second and third generations of our family to have the job of looking after the farm, keeping it alive, productive and in sympathy with the environment. We feel privileged to be able to pursue our passion at the same time as working and living in a wonderful place.
We are best known for our traditional Norfolk Black Christmas free-range organic turkeys, but we are very much a mixed farm, producing very good organic beef, organic lamb and also organic wool.
We will be delighted to supply your Christmas turkey, which can be collected from us here at the farm or alternatively from Exeter, Tavistock or Okehampton.. We have a limited number of birds, so please be sure to order in good time!
With help from the Natural Fibre Company, wool from our flock of Charollais, Lleyn and Zwartbles sheep has produced three colours of organic knitting wool. This has allowed Rosie’s sister Tricia to develop her knitting enterprise. Currently our wool is supplied to Naturalmat for the production of organic, hand-crafted mattresses.
We try to do things in a way that is as sustainable as possible and we aim to reduce food miles by being as self-sufficient as we can. So this inspires us to grow organic oats and other cereals that our livestock enjoy.
If you would like to know more about what we do, please get in touch, we'd love to hear from you.
Thank you for visiting our website.
