Langage Farm is proud to sponsor Devon County Cricket for the forthcoming season.

Working closely with DCC Development Manager, Matthew Theedom, we are looking to help and support our County Cricket Team in any way we can.  Devon County Cricket has been very successful in recent years on the playing side and we are proud to be associated with them.

On Friday 10 th July 2009, Langage Farm sponsored a Benefit match for former England wicketkeeper, Chris Read, an ex Devon player, now captain of first class county Nottinghamshire. Chris brought down a very strong Nottinghamshire side including five current and ex England internationals to play against a Devon Select Eleven. Nottinghamshire won the entertaining 20 over game in a very exciting match held at Exmouth Cricket Club. Langage Farm provided the ice cream, all sales of which were donated to Devon County Cricket, and provided a year’s supply of ice cream for the winner of a “bowl off” competition between the two innings. This was won by Mr. Karl Short of Exeter.

A PLYMOUTH ice cream firm had the opposition ‘licked’ by winning a number of awards at the Devon County Show.

A PLYMOUTH ice cream firm had the opposition ‘licked’ by winning a number of awards at the Devon County Show.

Langage Farm have had one of their most prolific years when it comes to the Devon County Show awards.

No less than five first place certificates came their way and in some cases the company took first and second.

Paul Winterton, General Manager, and Craig Short, Production Manager, were delighted to discover their hard work had paid off when the show placed them first in the specialty soft cheese category with their Devon Gold low fat brand.
But it didn’t stop there.

Strawberry and Black Cherry yoghurts took the top two awards in the carton dessert section and both their cream and clotted cream came top as well.
“Our vanilla ice cream was yet another winner,” said Paul.
“And with the weather like it is, it’s selling like hot cakes!”

One more surprise was awaiting them when they entered the marquee, as the Plympton-based firm had been awarded overall Dairy Produce Champion.
“This is a fantastic award for another twelve months hard work,” added Paul.
“In a year which has seen difficult trading times, Langage Farm has searched for and is supplying new outlets, producing new lines and has even taken time to look at the lighter side of things and develop ‘Credit Crunch’ ice cream.
“Our cream is now being used by other companies in their products and we have achieved all of this by not cutting back on quality.”

The Devon County Show success came in the same week as Langage received ‘Grade A’ from the British Retail Consortium Global Standard Agency, the greatest accolade that can be achieved in food safety standards.
