The Ilsington Village Shop has such a wide range of food and drink products, that it would be impossible to list them all. However, here are a few of our favourites:

 

 

 

DARTMOOR WHISKY

Dartmoor Whisky was founded by Greg Millar and is based in the Old Town Hall in Bovey Tracey. It is an independent small scale distillery which focuses on quality. This whisky uses Dartmoor spring water and barley grown on Dartmoor, which makes it truly a product of the South West. Dartmoor Whisky is matured in three barrel types to create three core flavours.

 

 

 

 

FLORA’S HONEY

Flora sold her first jar of honey with the help of South Hams Beekeepers when she was 8 at the Totnes Show. Now she keeps more bees in Ingsdon with the help of her Dad and brother using locally adapted Black Bees in hives made from local English wood. Her honey is both delicious and pollen-rich.

 

 

 

 

 

 

BOTTOR ROCK FARM POTATOES

Bottor Rock Farm has been in the Harvey family for over 70 years and is currently under the proud stewardship of Michael, Gail and their son Stephen, who is the fourth generation to farm the land on the south-eastern edge of Dartmoor.

 

 

 

 

 

OTTER BREWERY

Otter Brewery is based high on Blackdown Hills between Honiton and Taunton. Much of the barley used to make this beer is grown on Dartmoor and the water is drawn directly from the head springs of the river Otter. Tasty, handcrafted and award winning beers.

 

 

 

 

VICKY’S BREAD

Based in Helston, Cornwall, Vicky’s Bread is organic slow rise bakery. The handmade French style bread is made with sourdough cultures, the finest organic flours and no artificial additives.

 

 

 

WILD HART VENISON

Wild Hart Venison produces delicious Dartmoor aged wild venison from deer management programmes. The free ranging life of the wild Dartmoor deer provides them with the best variety of seasonal forage, thus ensuring the meat develops a depth of flavour unlike any other red meat. Wild venison is virtually fat free, low in cholesterol and incredibly healthy. Good for you, good for the community and good for conservation.

 

 

DEVON TEA

Devon Tea is a perfect accompaniment to all of Devon’s wonders, places and people. Devon Tea has been blended to take into consideration the characteristics of Devon water, using carefully selected teas from Kenya, Malawi and Zimbabwe to make the perfect blend for you.

 

 

PAPILLON GIN

Papillon is an award winning distillery based in Moretonhampstead. Their range of gins have traditional gin botanicals mixed with specific Dartmoor flavours which are foraged or grown locally; gorse, hawthorn berries, rowan berries, wood sorrel, navelwort, sloes and Devon violets. Adding pure water sourced from a hill farm on Dartmoor, Papillon gin is then distilled to create a London dry style of gin.

 

 

DEVON COTTAGE ORGANIC FUDGE

Devon Cottage Organic Fudge has been making fudge for over 20 years. Their award-winning crumbly Organic fudge is hand-made in their West Country kitchen using a traditional Devon recipe. All their dairy and vegan fudge is made in the Blackmore Vale using rich Devon cream and butter and other responsibly sourced ingredients. Each batch is cooked individually and hand beaten in a traditional large copper to create the uniquely crumbly yet creamy consistency.
