Lapford is roughly in the middle of Devon, just off the A377 which was the old main road linking Exeter and Barnstaple. Population probably about 1000. Two pubs, the Post Office, the Village Shop and the Petrol Station, not to mention the Railway Station and the small Industrial Estate. A friendly village with old and new houses, some families that have been here for many generations and some that are more recent arrivals than we are. The Lapford Lookout is a monthly village newsletter which was started for the the Year 2000. We advertised in it as soon as we started growing vegetable for sale, and in 2000 they ran a series of articles in which Dave described our early days in gardening and some of the events on our way to starting in market gardening. There used to be a Lapford Website run by the ‘Lookout’ team, but that stopped working some time ago. We hope that some time they may be able to get it going again. In the meantime you may be interested to look at the Mid-Devon website, which has lots of links to things going on in Mid-Devon.
