Huxhams Cross Farm is found on the edge of the Dartington Hall Estate near Totnes in Devon. It covers 34 acres of land that was bought by the Biodynamic Land Trust in 2015. The Trust holds land in perpetuity for sustainable food production. The Apricot Centre team are the first tenants of the farm and continue to develop it from a bare collection of 5 fields, that were put down to conventional barley for the last 40 year, to a rich and diverse food producing farm.
The farm was designed using the permaulture methodolgy, with an aim to produce delicious biodynamic food, vegetables, fruit, eggs, preserves and flour. The farm also supports wildlife biodiversity and has been designed to be low carbon. We are both organic and biodynamic certifed.
In the spring of 2017 we planted over 1000 fruit trees and bushes, 3000 agroforestry trees, established the beginning of the vegetable production, introduce a flock of 130 hens, and welcomed two cows called Damson and Daffodil on to the farm.
The farm is a learning demonstration of how we weave together the practices of biodynamic food production, permaculture design and agroforestry to create a beautiful, resilient and sustainable farm.

Crock & Cole launched just as 2019 was getting going. After 10 years of fomenting the idea, hesitating and being busy with other things, the time came.
The vision is to produce a range of wild fermented products for our local community. We wish to promote and popularise the deliciousness and the health benefits of raw, live fermented foods. We aim to make an artisanal product, which I believe to also be a peasant’s product. To this end, we strive to grow the produce ourselves, sourcing anything else as locally as possible, we use traditional ceramic fermenting vessels, and we embrace the diversity, seasonality and lack of homogeneity of our product.
We are a small business and we believe in the value of small businesses. We only wish to sell our produce locally, and would love to see the flourishing of other small fermenting businesses across the country.

The Totnes community bus was piloted in 1997 after a chance remark made by a visitor to the Totnes Information Centre. She was complaining that the main shopping street was very steep and was not easy to walk up, especially for the less able shopper. She asked whether anyone had thought of the possibility of having a small shuttle bus which took passengers to the top of the town.
Since the group and the service have gone from strength to strength and is arguably one of the most successful community bus groups in the country. It now owns 3 buses, one of which continues to service the town and one which is hired out to town groups

The Tally Ho! story stared back in 1919 when a small holder and rabbit farmer called James Henry Clark (Jimmy) who lived at the Mounts bought a lorry to transport his rabbits to market. In 1923 he bought a new bed for the lorry which converted the back into a coach for use at weekends .
In 1933 after discussion and advice from Bill Wellington he bought a proper bus (a 6 year old De-Dion Bouton 20 seater) to run senior school children from East Allington to the Kingsbridge schools. He called it the Tally Ho! Sunshine Coach and started running day tours at weekends.
Tally Ho has been an important part of the South Hams for a long time touching the lives of many people whether taking them to school, out for a trip or simply taking them to work. The Company has had varying reputations ranging from quality travel to notorious breakdowns! Throughout our history we have always been the archetypal "local business" and long may it continue.

Eating more veg + less meat is the best thing any of us can do for our planet. So having cooked organic gluten-free food for over 20 years, we’ve taken our love of veggies to the next level. We’ve gone vegan.
Why? Because if we can make it even easier for you to cut down on meat, with our new range of irresistible vegan soups, sauces + misos, then together we could make something amazing happen.
We’d love to show you just how delicious veggies can be, making it even simpler (and more exciting) for you to eat more of them and less of the other, becoming that bit more flexitarian. So we’ve come up with lots of products + recipes to help you get more veg into your diet.
Sometimes it’s the smallest changes that make the biggest difference.
