About Wallace's

Wallace's of Hemyock is a family farming business in the picturesque surroundings of the Blackdown Hills, on the Devon-Somerset border. Designated an Area of Out-standing Natural Beauty and more recently an Environmentally Sensitive Area, the Blackdown Hills are ideally suited to producing quality grass and forage required to raise animals in their natural environment. Our animals are raised without the use of growth promoters or other modern additives; in fact the only fertilisers used are those necessary to ensure the long term fertility of the soil helping to produce animals of fantastic quality just the way nature intended. Since arriving in Devon, nearly 20 years ago, the need to market our own farm produce in order to gain the premiums that our quality stock demanded, meant that our family had develop new butchering skills. Our ambitious plan to build a fully licensed processing facility on the farm, which opened in 1993, removed the necessity to transport our animals over great distances to slaughter, especially deer, which are so prone to stress. We are convinced that this one fact has a greater bearing on the quality of the end product than anything else. On the farm our move back to old-fashioned methods of husbandry and breeds, with emphasis on stringent welfare codes of practice has helped us to produce animals of outstanding quality. Visitors to our farmshop will see the herds of Red Deer, Bison, & Aberdeen Angus cattle and the flocks of Sheep, & Bronze Turkeys for Christmas, Chickens and Ducks all enjoying a Natural life at Hill farm. As well as the butchery we have now completed a small kitchen and a smokery to develop even more wonderful delicacies, where we are busy developing wonderful new recipes and meals, to compliment the finest quality home-produced meat. As well as the Farmshop we attend many of the local Farmers Markets, and regularly send mail-order parcels all over Britain.
