Every Friday and Saturday, the Market Square in Totnes is a hive of activity. It's market days…read more Friday is definetly the better day to go - as it's busier. Fresh fish (£1.50 for 2 fillets of sole!), fresh fruit and veg, Spanish cooking, second hand clothes and furniture as well as craft stalls, there is something for everyone there. At the back, there is a type of table top sale with antiques, toys, clothes and furniture. The vendors are friendly and a lot of the food stalls have free samples - much to my children's delight! Don't be afraid of haggling. There are lots of bargains to be had.

This is a great organic shop that is grown in size and stature in recent years. Easily accessed…read morefrom the main Buckfastleigh to Totnes road. The obvious vegetables and fruit as well as jars of all descriptions, eco washing and cleaning products, lentils and pulses, cheese, milk, meat etc etc. Can thoroughly recommend the new Riverford Recipe Book which contains some fabulous ways to use up the veg in your vegetable box. Not cheap but not expensive relative to other organic outlets and the range is very good. Staf tend to be very helpful and gave up using plastic bags many years ago in favour of re-used boxes etc.

When is someone going to notice that riverford, that proud standard bearer of the small is…read morebeautiful organic banner, has become just like all the other bloated businesses it purports not to be. Huge lorries careering all over the countryside and over-priced food. Damned by its own success. You'd be far better off going to Sainsburys, at least you know what you're dealing with. No thank you.

Think back to your childhood - walking into a shop with your 10 pence to buy a quarter of Rubarn &…read moreCustard sweets. Thought those days were gone? Think again! Though it might cost you more than 10 pence!!! Popping into Cranch's will bring memories flooding back and you will find sweets there you had probably forgotten all about.

If you are visiting Totnes make sure you have a look at Cranchs, it will take you back when you…read morehave a look at the jars of traditional sweets. Barley sugar twists, butter scotch and pineapple cubes they are all here. Pick a quarter of something you fancy and get your paper bag with a little of what you fancy. They also cater for the romantic trade with boxes of quality chocolates and in season Easter Eggs and Christmas novelties. You can also get a Devon cowpat (delicious fudge really) and some rock to take home. My person favourite is the coconut mushrooms.

When I first heard Morrisons was coming to Totnes I was…read morehorrified. Mainly because it would take all the trade from the smaller shops. Well it has in part. It has made the good ones up their game like the wonderful 'Annie's' greengrocer where I still go. But for fish for example,you cant beat it. Fresh,cheap.Excellent service.

Love this supermarket. Big enough to carry everything you will need but not so big that you think…read moreyou've entered a shopping village. Nice selection of fruit and veg as well as an in-store bakery and fish monger and butcher. The staff are friendly and helpful and the meat and fish slection is good and reasonably priced. The cafe could be better, but at the end of the day, it's just a supermarket cafe.

What an adventure!!!! This is a can't-miss. Local farmed food in creative, super tasty plates. The…read moreshrubs/cordials were good (I like the blood-orange/rosemary cordial best) and the plates varied from eggplant, pork belly (with fatback) to broccoli with a wonderful hollandaise (coming from someone who isn't a fan of hollandaise) 7 plates total. Dessert was mind-blowing (my fave was the hazelnut cake with poached pears and cream). A bit out of the way but very much worth the trip.

Had a scrumptious plant-based lunch today at the Riverford Field Kitchen. What can be better than…read morefresh food from the farm? Superbly prepared veg can be. My wife and I are vegan and they happily accommodated when we called ahead to book our spots. Our menu was packed with abundant and flavorful dishes such as snap peas with fresh beet purée, mixed green salad with roasted tomatoes and garlic aioli dressing, artichoke hearts with Lima beans and white bean purée, and several others plus dessert. The setting was suited and the service prompt and professional. We had a great time and would highly recommend for vegans and omnivores alike! If you're in the area make it a stop on your agenda

Did you know that you can have a box of organic veg delivered to your house every week? Did you…read morealso know that it is meant to be 20% cheaper than the supermarket and includes free delivery? The people behind it are a family based in Dartington in Devon, who own a farm called Riverford Farm... I used to live in Dartington and have watched this local organic farm develop over the last 15 years. I remember when the organic veg boxes were first made available, and how we all dreaded receiving the fabled Jerusalem artichoke in our weekly delivery... (they taste great but promote flatulence like there's no tomorrow!) Since then they have spread their area of influence to cover most of the UK and including part of Wales. Cardiff is served by the Devon Farm, but Riverford have actually teamed up with four other farms to ensure that they are able to cover such a broad area. These days they also provide fruit as well as veg, and can deliver meat if desired.
