A new Strawberry Fields farm shop has opened on the edge of Dartmoor, marking the fifth such establishment in Devon. Located on Roborough Down at the former Dartmoor Diner site, the shop sits on the boundary between South Hams and Plymouth city, offering easy access for both urban and rural customers.
The farm shop, which opened just weeks ago, has already drawn crowds eager to sample its award-winning produce. Strawberry Fields was named 'Best National Large Farm Shop' in 2023 by the Farm Retail Association Awards, and its reputation for outstanding food continues to grow.
Manager Skye Bourne, 25, said: 'It's been really busy, the amount of local support and people travelling further afield to see the new Strawberry Fields has been outstanding.' She noted that sausage rolls and pasties, made at Lifton and delivered daily, have been particularly popular, along with freshly baked buns and breads.
Visitors can enjoy a range of locally sourced items, including pasties, quiches, sausage rolls, and baked goods. The shop also offers seating both downstairs and upstairs, with the latter providing panoramic views across the Devonshire countryside. An outdoor garden area leads directly onto the moor, ideal for walks.
Those exploring the moor should keep dogs on a lead due to sheep, lambs, Dartmoor ponies, and ground-nesting birds. Parking is available directly outside the shop or in nearby moorland bays. The Roborough branch is an offshoot of the Lifton farm shop and restaurant, which also has outlets in Buckfastleigh and Exeter.
