Chilcotts Farm
Chilcotts, in North Devon, is a delightful place where the love for nature and sustainable living comes to life. While it’s no longer a working farm, it serves as a home where fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables are grown, and a small flock of chickens, ducks, and geese provide a steady supply of eggs.
The bees play a crucial role not only in pollinating the crops but also in producing honey and beeswax products. The farm offers local Devon honey for sale, made by bees collecting from Bickington & Fremington, ensuring a truly local and authentic taste.
