GET UP CLOSE & PERSONAL WITH NATIVE BREEDS

Poll Dorset Ewes

An ancient breed, developed from the Dorset Horn; one of the earliest recorded breeds of British Sheep that thrived in the sheltered valleys and lush hill pastures of southwestern England. A dual-purpose wool and meat sheep; not only are they renowned for their white, strong fleece, but also their succulent and tender meat.

Saddleback Pigs

A native West Country breed, recognised by its lop ears and distinctive white saddle across its shoulders and known for thriving in the outdoors due to their hardiness and excellent foraging skills. While famous for producing rich, flavorful bacon, the shift toward intensive farming led to the decline of pure Wessex and Essex Saddlebacks. Today, British Saddlebacks continue to produce exceptional pork and bacon but remain classified as 'at risk' by the Rare Breed Survival Trust. Supporting local farmers is vital to preserving this hardy, native breed.

Our Ruby Reds

Here at Darts Farm, we pride ourselves on being one of the few farms to still have a traditional herd of Red Ruby Devon cattle that graze on the banks of the River Clyst. Pop down and say hello…You might even see them munching on grass or leftover veggies from the farm shop!
