Our farm

Shillingford Organics is an organic, agroecological farm & just 3 miles from the center of Exeter. The farm has been organic since 2000 & farmed by the Bragg family since 1965. A team of dedicated growers produce our veg & fruit. Our produce is sold via our vegetable box scheme, farmers markets and in a farm shop & cafe. The farm produces healthy food for local people.



Our agroforestry

Here at Shillingford we have a variety of agroforestry predominantly focused on silvohorticulture. We have three fields in alley cropping systems planted in 2002, 2012 & 2025 between which we grow a variety of vegetable crops. The main fruit planted here is apple but we also have plum, damson, gage, pear, fig, cobnut, almond & walnut. We also have several orchards, shelter belts and 12.5km of hedges as well as several areas planted to broadleaf woodland.
