Business Details
East Hill Pride Farm Shop - Fresh Local Produce & Butchery in Sidmouth
East Hill Pride Farm Shop is a family-owned business with roots tracing back to the mid-1800s when my great grandfather established a Heavy Horse Harness making shop. We transitioned to farming in 1974, diversifying into meat production following the introduction of milk quotas. Our unique on-farm ECC Approved Abattoir and cutting plant ensure complete traceability and quality control. In 2009, we relocated to our current site, expanding with a tea room and renewable energy initiatives. Our farm shop offers home-produced meats, homemade pasties, artisan products, and locally sourced goods.We prioritize animal welfare and sustainable practices, featured on national TV for our abattoir standards. Our team, led by my wife Cynthia and son Richard, combines generations of expertise to deliver exceptional service. We pride ourselves on providing fresh, locally sourced produce year-round, supporting Devon's agricultural community. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our Rick Stein Food Hero recognition and customer-centric approach. From hog roast catering to seasonal Christmas offerings, we blend tradition with innovation to meet modern demands.
