Red Devon

About Red Devon

Red Devon is the brainchild of Julia and Nigel Widdowson who, since 2002 have been raising Red Devon cattle on their farm outside Millbrook. This heritage breed thrives on a diet of grass, and the small herd is moved to a different patch of pasture every single day. For the Widdowsons, who are active in environmental and land conservation causes, opening a market and cafe was a way of showcasing not only their own Red Devon beef, but also the products of many other nearby farms. The goal, says Julia Widdowson, is to focus on regional, seasonal and sustainably grown foods.The Red Devon’s market and café serves breakfast and lunch three days a week. They bake their own baguettes, scones, croissants, multi-grain, wheat and sourdough loaves, ciabatta, cookies, cinnamon rolls, pastries, doughnuts and more on premises. Their omelets, bacon and ham cannot be matched. The Lunch menu includes soups and sandwiches, and a variety of seasonal cold salads also, can be chosen from the case, as can their housemade charcuterie and local cheeses. The dessert case has freshly made cakes and other desserts for take-out or eating in the café.
