About us

Situated at Ladram Bay on the East Devon coast, our farmland includes a private fishing beach – because of this, fishing and farming have always gone hand-in-hand for us as a family. In 1967 we took the decision to diversify our farming interests into other areas, and add freshly-caught fish and shellfish to our farm produce. We started out with just one small beach boat, the Darter; happily, the decision to diversify proved to be a good one, and over time we’ve gradually added to the fleet as the right boats have become available. Nowadays, we’re the proud owners of fifteen fishing vessels based around the South-West coastline, all crewed by teams of skilled fishermen with years of experience. Greendale has invested heavily in buying quota, so we can guarantee that none of our boats are required to discard good fish; moreover, owning the quota allows us to manage our own fisheries sustainably. Our boats also adhere to the standards set out by the Seafood Responsible Fishing Scheme.
