Darts Farm is a nationally recognised, family-run destination located in the beautiful Devon countryside near Topsham, Exeter. What began 55 years ago, with our father selling his own farm produce direct to the local community has grown into one of the UK’s most celebrated farm shops – a place where great food, craftsmanship & community come together.
Today, Darts Farm has evolved into a vibrant, experience-led destination, featuring a bustling food hall, farm-to-table restaurants, vineyard, cidery, wellness spa, home & lifestyle departments and much more, all under one roof on our working farm. Together, we create a truly unique experience that people love and return to time & time again. We are looking for someone to help share the stories that make Darts Farm & it’s people so special.
