East Hill Pride Farm Shop is a family owned and hands on business that was originally started when in the mid 1800's my great grandfather who ran a Heavy Horse Harness making shop on Cornhill Ottery St Mary bought our farm. I started farming when I was 14 years old working for my father and continued until I married my wife when we took over the farm in 1974.
We milked cows until the quota system was introduced when we felt the need to diversify. The herd was sold and we followed a passion to sell home produced meats to the final consumer giving customers freedom of choice from the major multiples. We applied and obtained planning permission to build an abbatoir, I trained to be a licensed slaughterman and butcher and bought a redundant butchers shop in Newton Poppleford.

I don't usually leave reviews but this was so bad.
We we're the only people there and the service
took ages, we had 2 cream teas, the scones were warm and soggy, as if they had been microwaved from frozen or maybe they was made from stodgy bread rolls, didn't taste like a scone or look like one.
Don't you normally make up your own cream tea? Not served already done.
Sorry can't recommend this place for cream teas.

Called into East Hill Pride farm shop today..we had a full english breakfast cooked fresh for us and at £5.95 was an absolute steal..all fresh ingredients from the farm..their own bacon..sausages and eggs..I think the only ingredient that wasn't from the farm were the baked beans! We also purchased some succulent Strawberries..they were to die for and Gooseberries which I picked then and there which I have yet to make into a crumble. But the best was the lamb steaks that we had for our evening meal..what beautiful pieces of meat they were..salt..pepper a little olive oil and fried in the pan.
