Pedigree South Devon cattle crossed with Aberdeen Angus and Beef Shorthorn Bulls, Black Welsh Mountain and Wiltshire Horn sheep are all reared in a low input, sustainable, organic farming system to produce fantastic, great tasting meat. The beef and sheep are fed exclusively on grass, grazing outdoors in summer and eating conserved forage in winter. This gives a special, intense flavour to the meat, which is wholly lacking from animals fed intensively on cereals.
Organic farming is a way of producing safe food from healthy plants and animals in a healthy natural environment. Strict regulations known as standards define what we can and cannot do and we are inspected regularly by the Soil Association to ensure we are doing it right. What are the benefits? Safe nutritious food and great countryside!
We are continually striving to utilise as much of each animal that we produce as possible.
This is not only important for our business, but is also the best way that we can show our appreciation for our animals – by ensuring that nothing goes to waste.
Each hide or skin we sell is completely individual and can make a wonderful, unique gift or addition to a home.
The land is our most valuable asset. With this in mind, preserving, restoring and protecting this is central to our farming practices. We are committed to ensure that we “tread lightly” to ensure that we leave our patch in a healthy, fertile state for future generations.
We have been farming organically for over twenty years. During this time, many changes have been made that we feel have had a really positive impact on our land and landscape. We have established several miles of new hedgerows and field margins, planted hundreds of trees, fenced off sensitive river banks (to prevent erosion), created areas of wild bird cover to provide vital winter food, reinstated traditional field boundaries and much more……and all of this alongside and in harmony with our core farming activities – producing great tasting, high quality Beef, Lamb and Pork.
We are proud to be accredited and regulated by the following certification bodies so you can have trust in what you eat.
