Food & drink

North Devon has long been seen as the home of award winning local food and drink. You'll delight in discovering our rich dairy produce, fresh seafood and fine meat, our fruits and vegetables, cheeses, microbreweries, vinyards and cider orchards. The best chefs in Devon are equally impressed; they source locally and have helped to see North Devon food evolve into a food lover's paradise.

Delicious North Devon is the second phase of the North Devon+ Food and Drink project.  The project aims to help micro producers to ‘up their game’ by increasing their knowledge, skills and capacity to meet the needs of modern markets.

Over a 2½ year period, we have assisted 123 businesses and 160 individuals, and delivered the North Devon FoodFest, which in 2012 attracted 13,900 visitors. Through commercial sponsorship and support, FoodFest is now a financially sustainable annual event. Delicious North Devon moves the focus from meeting market needs to encouraging and supporting active growth.

Food & drink micro-businesses with potential growth across the supply chain (from producers to processors, caterers and retail outlets) will have access to bespoke support, mentoring and learning opportunities to overcome key barriers to growth and event participation to develop supply chain.
