The Team

Welcome to our team page. Below you will find out a little about the staff at Shillingford Organics who help to bring you your produce.

Martyn Bragg
Martyn has been farming at The Barton since 1988. He is committed to supplying local people with local produce that has been grown in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. He has been running the box scheme for six years and oversees the business as a whole.

Tim Deane
Founder of Northwood Boxes, the forerunner to Shillingford Organics, Tim has been farming organically at Northwood Farm in Christow since 1990. Northwood produce still makes up a percentage of the box contents throughout the year, including aubergines, tomatoes and artichokes.

Bridget Rendall
Bridget joined Shillingford Organics in August 2006 to take over the box scheme administration and also to assist Martyn with other administrational duties. Bridget is the main contact for all box scheme correspondence. She will work hard to ensure everything runs smoothly at Shillingford Organics thus ensuring the service we offer our customers is the best.

Sharon Bickley
Sharon works alongside Martin Godfrey as a part-time grower, having joined Shillingford Organics in March 2006, seeking a more rewarding lifestyle than office work. Sharon is very passionate about the work she does and the proof of the planting is in the vegetables. ~ nothing great in this world has been achieved without passion ~

Martin Godfrey
After working for 15 years milking cows at a Devon farm, Martin joined Shillingford Organics in March 2006 as a part-time grower, alongside Sharon Bickley. He is a keen gardener and has his own veg patch and flower garden at The Barton. Martin like Sharon is very passionate about his work.

Lesley Downes
Lesley has been helping pick produce and pack Shillingford Organic Vegetable Boxes since summer 2005 and she also delivers boxes to Dunsford. Lesley is another valued member of the team.

Pete Spooner
Pete joined the team in July 2006 as driver on the two Thursday delivery rounds in Exeter. He now also does the Friday deliveries. Pete is very conscientious and will do all he can to ensure the best service is given.

Mike Radford
Mike is a long-standing (although he has been known to sit down) worker at The Barton. His services are most commonly employed on the agricultural side of the farm; ploughing, harvesting and other big tasks but he does also drive some of the planting machinery for the box scheme crops. His services are often utilised by other farmers in the area.

Tilly
Tilly is the resident farm dog at The Barton. She was adopted in June 2005 and loves getting attention from anyone and everyone. When not fussing, Tilly can be found lying in the sun, rolling in the mud or riding in one of the farm tractors. She has been known to sneak into the staff room and snuggle up on our lovely sofa, not funny when she inevitably manages to do this after having rolled about in the mud !!
