Fenton Farm Eggs

This 3rd generation family farm in Devon grows cereals for grain and straw – some of which are used for the hens. Fenton Farm Eggs are laid by hens in traditional free-range flocks where they have access throughout the day to green pasture where they roam freely and are fed specially formulated feed to enhance yolk colour.

Fenton Farm Eggs are laid by different breeds of hens, including Fenton Blues, which are bred from Cream Legbars and Araucanas and lay beautiful green/blue eggs. White Leghorns, a flightier bird that originates from the Leghorn region of Italy, lays pure white eggs, and a Rhode Island Red Cross lay traditional brown eggs.

The excellent and natural conditions in which the hens are kept results in exceptional quality eggs with strong shells, bright yolks, and superior flavour.

COOK

COOK was founded in 1997 by Ed and Dale – two big-hearted entrepreneurs with a little shop in Farnham and an old pizza delivery kitchen. Inspired by the taste of great home cooking, their dream was to find a better way of doing business: working for people and the planet, not just profit.

Today, COOK meals and puddings have picked up scores of Great Taste Awards and can be found in hundreds of independent shops all over the UK. Everything is still prepared by hand in over 90 of their own shops, and a thriving delivery service.

“We prepare our meals and puddings by hand, and we’re obsessed with using the best ingredients from farmers and suppliers we trust.” – COOK

At Monkton Elm farm shop, we have a wide selection of craft spirits, wines, beers, and ciders. Where possible, these are sourced locally and are proudly British!

Wine

Our farm shop stocks a really great variety of local British wines. Our range from Whitehall Vineyards is particularly special, from gorgeous reds and refreshing whites to cans of deliciousness for barbecues or picnics. Whitehall Vineyard was established in 2017 with the support of a small team of planters. Since then, Whitehall has been carefully crafting wines with charming British flavours to enhance any dining experience or simply to enjoy on their own.

Cider

The signature drink of Somerset! We are proud to stock a range of traditional and fruit ciders from various local suppliers.

Sheppy’s Cider 

Nestled between Taunton and Wellington in the heart of Somerset. They’re a family-run farm that’s been lovingly crafting premium award-winning craft ciders for over 200 years, making them one of the oldest independent cider makers in the world.

Taunton Cider

Taunton Cider prides themselves on only using apples grown in traditional orchards within a 30-mile radius of our office in central Taunton, right in the heart of Somerset.

Rich’s Cider

Rich’s Cider is a family-run business who have been producing Traditional Farmhouse Cider and Pressed Apple Juice with locally harvested Somerset apples for nearly 70 years. 

Ales

Exmoor Ales

Founded in 1979 on the edge of Exmoor in Wiveliscombe, Exmoor Ales was one of the pioneer ‘Micro Breweries’ to stand against the onslaught of keg ale flooding the market from the big brewers. Concentrating on crafting ales of character and flavour, they gained a following, helping lead to the cask ale revival of the early eighties.

Exmoor Ales’s reputation for producing innovative ale was further confirmed when, in 1986, they produced Exmoor Gold, the first ever single malt Golden Ale. To this day, Exmoor Ales brewers continue to push the boundaries and produce ales with distinctive characteristics and the renowned, long Exmoor aftertaste.

We have all this and much more, come and explore our wide range in our Farm Shop here at Monkton Elm Garden Centre. 

You will find us just off the main A38 about 2 miles outside of Taunton. When coming from Taunton you will pass by the garden centre before needing to turn so there should be no problem spotting us!
