Darts Farm

Darts Farm, a Devon farm shop and estate at Topsham

Darts Farm is a farm-based destination in Topsham, Devon, built around a farm shop that sells produce from its own fields alongside goods from what it describes as its artisans. The site presents the business as a champion of that produce, and the offer extends well beyond retail into dining, wellness, a vineyard and ticketed seasonal events.

The farm shop is organised into distinct counters and departments rather than a single grocery area. These include a butchers, a fish shed, seasonal vegetables, a deli, a food hall and a chocolatier, with Cow & Cacao and The Cidery appearing both as in-store names and as sources for chocolate and cider.

Food, drink and the farm's own production

Meat is a central part of the range. The butchery lists free-range turkey, slow grown beef, roasting joints, local lamb, free-range chicken, pork with provenance, free-range duck, bacon and sausages, outdoor cooking cuts and offal. The Christmas offer adds free-range Bronze turkeys, a Boxing Day glazed ham and handmade Beef Wellington.

Drinks span craft beer and cider, still and sparkling wines, British spirits and tasting selections. The estate's own Pebblebed Vineyard supplies sparkling and still wines, described on the site as award-winning and crafted on the farm. Raw honey and bean-to-bar chocolate are also presented as products made on the farm.

Hampers form a substantial catalogue in their own right, grouped into food, drink, chocolate, cheese and charcuterie, steak, dine-at-home, birthday, thank-you, celebration, wedding, wellness and corporate hampers. Named examples include The Darts Farm Hamper, The Night Before Christmas Hamper, The Christmas Treats Hamper, the West Country Cheese & Cider hamper, the Devonshire Cream Tea Hamper, the Fizz, Cheese & Charcuterie Hamper and The Ultimate Darts Farm Hamper. The range also covers gift cards for in-store and online use, experience gifts and food subscriptions.

Restaurants and places to eat on the farm

Dining is spread across several venues: The Yard Restaurant, Cow & Cacao Café, The Farm Table, The Terrace Bar, the Cidery & Tastings Bar, The Shack and The Fish Shed. The site groups them under an eat-and-drink section inviting visitors to explore the eateries on the farm.

Wellness spa and hair salon

The estate includes a wellness spa with a published treatment menu. Treatments listed include spa days, laser and HIFU treatments, infrared sauna and steam, massage, Elemis treatments and facials, spa rituals, manicures and pedicures, waxing, lashes and eyebrows, ear piercing and a for-teens category. Spa gift vouchers are also offered. A hair salon, Energy Hair, operates alongside the spa.

Outdoors, animals and the vineyard

Visitors can walk the farm trail and wetlands, visit the Pebblebed Vineyard, use the play area and animal corner, see The Hen House and the fishing ponds, and hire bikes. The vineyard also runs tours, and the farm offers pick-your-own sunflowers and a maize maze in season.

Events and seasonal programme

The events calendar includes Pumpkin Fest, presented on the site as its biggest yet, with thousands of homegrown pumpkins, magic shows, stilt walkers, marshmallow toasting, face painting and local street food; under-ones enter free and tickets are sold online. Other listed events are a seasonal harvest tasting weekend, a community run club and autumn activities on the farm.

Other retailers and services on site

Beyond the farm's own operation, the site names several independent businesses and brands based at the location: Indigenous, CYCEN, Orange Tree, Cotswold Outdoor, the Flower Shack, and the home and garden section. Corporate gifting is handled as a separate line, with corporate hampers and store and online gift cards.

The business also publishes sections on its own story, community work, sustainability, news and awards, a gallery, recipes and a blog, and recruitment information. Its registered company number is 04291114.
