The few allotments that exist in Harberton are owned by a local estate and managed by Michelmore Hughes in Totnes. There is currently a waiting list.
A J Gibbons from Bovey Tracey (same company as ran the coalyard by the station in Totnes until summer 2006) operates a fortnightly, free delivery service to Harberton, with no minimum order quantity. The delivery dates usually coincide with Grey Bin collection dates in most of the Harberton area (see Refuse/recycling). They also pass through Harberton on other days (Mon/Tues) and would provide free delivery for 5 pre-packed 25kg sacks or 2 open loose sacks (50kg) on those days. (We're also told that they sift out coal dust from loose deliveries.) Any other deliveries would attract a delivery charge. Their contact number is 01626 834449. (Delivery conditions may change.)
The old centre of Harberton is a designated Conservation Area. This has
various implications concerning planning matters, work on trees etc. within this
area. The boundary of this area can be seen by using South Hams District
Council's interactive mapping service at:

We carried out an email survey of the village in June 2006 which found a generally positive experience with Freeview installations in and around Harberton. Some recommended "try before you buy" (if possible), others "get quality equipment", others (including us) said "just get a cheap one and try it".
