Organic, picked Monday, with you Tuesday
A box of what the field actually grew this week.
140 acres above the Teign valley, Coombe Hollow Farm has grown organic veg since 1987. Weekly boxes to Exeter, Torbay and Plymouth, a farm shop with a proper cafe, and a rotation that has never seen a bag of synthetic anything.
For 2 to 4 people, our most popular
- Everything in the small box

What is in season
The box follows the field, not a catalogue.
September is the fat month: beans and sweetcorn on their way out, squash and apples coming in. The outlined column is now.
How it works
Three steps, no small print.
Pick a box size
Small, medium or large. Weekly or fortnightly. Swap up to two items you would rather not have.
We pick on Monday
Everything is cut, dug or gathered on Monday morning, packed in returnable crates and chilled overnight.
Delivered Tuesday
Our two vans cover Exeter, Torbay and Plymouth rounds. Leave a safe place and we leave the box there.
Farm shop and cafe
Come up the lane.
The shop sells what the boxes hold, plus Devon cheeses, dairy milk from next door, dry goods by the scoop and Saturday sourdough. The cafe cooks lunch from the same crates.

The medium box has changed how we cook. We eat what the week gives us and waste almost nothing.Ruth, Topsham, Google review
