Middle Coombe Farm and Organic beef

Middle and Lower Coombe Farm form parts of the Coombe Farm Woodlands Trust. The farm is run by William and Pam Roffe-Silvester and is soil association certified organic. It produces its own apples, willow, comfrey plant food, vegetables and beef. A full horse livery service is also available to people bringing their own horses. There are extensive riding trails through the fields and woods.

William and Pam Roffe-Silvester run the Lower Coombe Farm organic beef box scheme. An Aberdeen Angus Pedigree bull crosses with a herd of mother cows principally Devon Reds producing excellent beef cattle accustomed to the local environment. There's no need to buy in cattle - thereby greatly reducing any possibility of importing disease. And Lower Coombe Farm uses a local reputable slaughterhouse and butcher for all its beef, making the journey from farm to abattoir as stress free as possible.

Let Pam and William know if you want it delivered to the farmhouse at Middle Coombe where you will be staying or if you like to take a 2 mins. Stroll down to collect your organic beef directly from Pam & William on their farm and see the cattle for yourselves. You may also want to take beef away with you (once you have tasted the difference you probably will!) - if so please bring a cooler box or bag with you so that you can take it home frozen and put it straight into your freezer.

Farm Stewardship

We have been running a Countryside Stewardship scheme here since 2000 which has helped replant the organic apple orchard. It has also supported us with laying in traditional fashion our ancient hedges as well as extensive pasture management. We only cut hay late in the season after birds and small animals' young have flown the nest. We spread hay from different fields, thereby enhancing wild flower contents of field grass. All these activities have had a visible effect on flora and fauna, mammals and bird life. Owls and buzzards have become noticeably more numerous, profiting from a catch of small animals which are pesticide free and more numerous.
