Welcome to the In My Back Yard online shop bringing local, ethical food direct from producers to the East Devon community.

We're open for orders from 8pm each Friday until 10am the following Wednesday. Our collection points are in Branscombe, Honiton, Lyme Regis, Ottery St Mary, Seaton and Sidmouth. Orders are ready for collection on Friday afternoon/evening. 

Please see below for more details. We hope you enjoy shopping with us and we welcome your feedback.

Our friends at Shillingford Organics now supply most of their vegetables direct on our shopfront, this means a wide choice is available and we don't have to take the risk about what is likely to sell each week. Shillingford produce is available for limited time each week as they have to receive their orders before our cycle closes. Therefore, every Monday evening we will remove their produce from our order cycle - this means that you will need to place your order by 6pm to ensure you have access to what they offer.
We have chosen to continue listing some of their produce under 'In My Back Yard Fruit & Veg' - we buy in this wholesale and then bag it up ourselves. All Shillingford produce is delivered through the Good Food Loop. If an item has 'LIMITED' in the listing title it is possible that there won't be enough to supply demand. In these cases we will of course issue you a refund.

We are aware some people will have difficulties reaching a collection point due to age, health or limited ability. If you’re unsure about who can collect your order from your nearest collection point, please contact us on 01297 680680 or email feedme@inmybackyard.co and we will help you find a ‘delivery buddy’, so that you can continue accessing our producers' fresh, healthy and local food. 

Instead of paying a delivery fee, if you're able to make a voluntary donation to IMBY (a not-for-profit community interest company) this will go towards the continued running of our collection points and building our local resilient food system. A new donation facility is on the shopfront and we're busy setting up a Stripe donation facility on our website for subscriptions.

We set up our delivery services at the height of covid, when reducing contact and reaching vulnerable people was imperative. We currently only handle a few regular home deliveries, which has become unsustainable for IMBY. We are therefore focusing our energies on our collection points as a network of localised hubs - the most efficient way to distribute food with the smallest carbon footprint. 

Please team up with your neighbours and friends (see if they’re shopping with us - perhaps they might like to!) to share the journey to your nearest collection point. By coordinating your own local collections you will become further ‘nodes’ in a sustainable food web for East Devon. If you'd like to help spread the word, there are free flyers on the shopfront, just add them to your cart.

- Step 1 Please click on the 'shop' tab to see what we have in stock this week. Everything you see is available; once things are sold out they are no longer visible. (Please note you can only see the produce between Saturday 10am and Wednesday 10am each week.)

- Step 2 You can either browse the full list (which is grouped into categories e.g. meat, veg, non-foods, etc) or use the filters at the top right of the list to filter into specific categories. You can add any amount of filters at once, and clear the filters using the clear button.

- Step 3 To add to your basket, just increase the unit number in the amount field and it automatically adds to your basket. When you have filled your basket with what you'd like to buy, click on the basket icon (top right corner of page) and choose to either edit your basket or check out.

- Step 4 You can check out as a guest or, to make regular ordering more simple, set up an account and the Open Food Network will remember your details. Payment is by card through a secure reputable payment system called Stripe.

If you experience any difficulties please contact us on 01297 680 680 or feedme@inmybackyard.co and we'll be happy to help!  We also welcome feedback and suggestions about ways we can improve our offering and service.

In My Back Yard is a friendly network of independent, small-scale food producers, wholefood suppliers and residents in East Devon. We are working together to build a more resilient, nourishing and community-centred food system for the local area.

Customers can order fresh, natural and delicious food and other items direct from the producers via a convenient online platform. A phone buddy system will help those who aren’t online. Goods will be delivered to a collection point or direct to homes or businesses across most of the East Devon AONB and Lyme Regis.

By working together, we support local producers with fairer prices, reduce food miles and overheads, revitalise the local economy and increase resilience to shocks in global markets.

We are always adding more products and producers so check back often or sign up to our mailing list to hear the latest news.

There's a more about us and how our order system works here: www.inmybackyard.co. Any problems please call us on 01297 680 680.

Thank you for supporting us. We wish you the very best of health and hope that you enjoy our produce!
