Barleymow's Farm Shop and Restaurant
Beef, lamb and game reared on the farm and hung and butchered on the premises for that old-fashioned flavour. Plus bread 'like Granny used to bake'.

Brown and Forrest Smokery
A unique smokery offering a wide range of smoked foods including fish, chicken, duck, lamb and even cheese. The restaurant on site serves food straight from the smoker, often so fresh they are served straight away. If you can't visit the shop or restaurant check out the website and order on-line.

Somerset Cider Brandy
Martock has been the home to Somerset Cider Brandy since 1679, 101 years before Napolean was born and grew a liking for brandy. He'd have scrumped here. These fanatical orchardists make a cider brandy that is close to getting the rubber stamp from Brussels to call itself just that, 'Cider Brandy'. If you fancy a glug, try Shipwreck'. This ten-year old gem was finished in Allier oak casks salvaged (legally) from MSC Napoli that sank off Branscombe in 2007. Stroll through the orchards and sample brandies, ciders, cider vinegar and apple juices, all produced from apples grown on the farm.
