Services
Organic Meat
Our organic meat selection includes beef, lamb, and pork from animals raised under strict organic standards. These products come from farms prioritising natural feeding practices and outdoor access. The meat is processed using traditional methods to preserve natural flavours and textures, with regular quality checks ensuring consistent premium standards.
Free Range Poultry
We offer a comprehensive range of free-range poultry products including chickens, ducks, and guinea fowl. Our organic birds are reared on-site using slower growth cycles to enhance meat quality. For non-organic options, we partner with local farms maintaining high welfare standards and sustainable feeding practices.
Dry Cured Gammon
Our dry-cured gammon and bacon products use heritage curing techniques developed on the farm. We select premium pork cuts for this process, ensuring deep flavour development without artificial additives. The range includes both smoked and unsmoked varieties with multiple cut options available.
Organic Milk
Unpasteurised organic milk is available in reusable glass bottles or refill containers from our farm shop. We maintain strict temperature controls from collection to sale, ensuring product freshness. Both full cream and semi-skimmed varieties meet organic certification requirements.

Seasonal wild game includes pheasant, partridge, venison, and mallard sourced from local estates. We maintain quality through careful handling and selection processes. Some products remain available year-round via frozen stock, with current pricing available upon inquiry.

Just collected a box of the best mince pies and a takeaway coffee. The frangipane pies are the best I have ever had!! The coffee wasn’t bad either!

I go every week for my main shop, the staff are so friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble, they are happy to cut things in half or pop out the back and get the cut of meat you're looking for. Whenever I'm not sure what would be the best option for what I want to cook I just ask and they always give great advice! I wouldn't get my meat from anywhere else. Local, traceable and worth every penny.

I’ve been shopping at Gilcombe Farm for about 12 years now and it just keeps getting better and better! The staff are so helpful and the food is delicious (especially the home made pies). It is lovely to see such happy, well keep cows at the farm when popping in for supplies. Thanks for all your hard work, in particular during the pandemic. Would highly recommend
