The South West is home to the nation's best cream teas so Darts Farm's Cream Tea Hamper, packed with West Country delights, is perfect for celebrating Afternoon Tea Week (7th-13th August) in style. 

Cream Tea Hamper (starting at £29 from www.dartsfarm.co.uk)

This hamper has everything that you need to create a delicious Devonshire cream tea. You really can't beat a freshly baked Ryder's Bakery scone topped with a dollop of Rodda's clotted cream and Waterhouse Fayre strawberry jam alongside a freshly brewed cup of tea. We've also included two bottles of Luscombe's refreshing Sicilian Lemonade. There is only one question, cream or jam first? For an extra special treat, why not add a G&T or bottle of Devon sparkling fizz from Darts Farm's own Pebblebed Vineyards. 

Contents*:

• Ryder's Bakery Scones x 4

A family run business, Ryder's have been hand-crafting their amazing baked goods in Devon for almost 50 years. Shaun & his son Sam use traditional methods to hand-bake their classic Devonshire scones. 

• Waterhouse Fayre Strawberry Jam

Ann and Neil Stallard began making their award-winning jams and preserves here in Devon with open preserve pans in small batches, to ensure maximum flavour and top quality!

• Luscombe Sicilian Lemonade 27cl x 2

Based in South Devon, Gabriel David and his family have been crafting these delicious organic drinks for 45 years. By sourcing ingredients only from growers they know and trust they can guarantee that only the best goes into their bottles. This tangy, traditional lemonade is wonderfully refreshing. 

• Rodda's Clotted Cream 200g 

When it comes to clotted cream, you simply cannot beat Rodda's. A family business with over 120 years of expertise, their rich and delicious cream is made using local Cornish milk and their traditional cooking method which gives it the perfect golden crust!

Brew Tea Bags (15)

Only hand-picked, rolled, whole-leaf tea goes into every batch of Brew Tea, which gives the amazing flavour.

Cream Tea hampers are available to buy in store and from www.dartsfarm.co.uk for nationwide delivery. Cream teas can also be enjoyed in Darts Farm's restaurant and Cow & Cacao Café!

*At times hamper contents may vary due to stock availability, but items will be replaced with products of the same or higher value and quality.

Notes to editors:

• In 1971, Ronald Dart set up a pioneering 'pick your own' business in Topsham, overlooking the beautiful Clyst Valley, just outside Exeter. From humble beginnings, it has grown into a unique, multi-award-winning destination, which still retains the working family farm at its heart.
• Over the past 25 years Darts Farm has been continually evolving to become one of the most exciting shopping experiences in the South West. Darts Farm remains a family business run by the Dart brothers; the retail looked after by Michael and James and the farm headed up by Paul. The business is, at its core, still a working farm, and sells all of its home-grown produce directly through the farm shop
• Darts Farm was named 'Large Farm Shop of the Year' at the Farm Retail Association Awards 2022, 'Best South West Farm Shop' in the Taste of the West Awards 2018 and was crowned the Winner of the 'Best Farm Shop' at the Food Reader Awards in 2020.
• With over 17,000 visitors a week, Darts Farm prides itself on its exceptional customer experience and the warm, friendly atmosphere around the store, enhanced by the Dart brothers' hands-on management, family involvement and their passionate members of staff.
• With Ruby Red Devon cattle grazing in the fields, Paul Dart and his team harvest a wonderful selection of fresh fruit and vegetables daily, which are sold in the food hall and used by the restaurant in their delicious seasonal dishes.
• Darts Farm can be found overlooking the beautiful Clyst Valley in the picturesque town of Topsham, near Clyst St George, on the outskirts of Exeter in Devon (EX3 0QH)
