The Cotley Farm Christmas Story started about 23 years ago when our farm was badly affected by the foot and mouth crisis, prompting a need to diversify our farm business.
We began growing Christmas trees and from our first year of selling 30 trees we are now growing 10 acres. Taking between 6 and 10 years to grow a Christmas tree, this truly is a growing business.
Hand in hand with the Christmas trees has been the development of our family farm site at Cotley Farm into what we hope is a very special Christmas experience. The farm nestles on the hillside with amazing views overlooking Whimple and we are passionate about keeping a very traditional feel to our Christmas destination.
We bring farm animals into our decorated barns for you to see at Christmas and in 2008 the introduction of our real Reindeer added a very special magical touch.
Our shop proudly promotes the best of West Country produce, and is overflowing with unusual gifts and decorations to give a truly festive feel to your visit.
We want to say a big thank you to all the people who have helped us create a special place to come. We are very proud that many customers have made it their family tradition to visit us each year.
