Now you can enjoy food like it used to taste

Meat from Britain's rare and traditional breeds is something very special. Raised on our own small farm in non-intensive conditions, the meat retains all the old-fashioned virtues of succulence, tenderness and full flavour.

Because they are raised naturally and mature more slowly, most rare breeds have much better eating qualities than most meat from the mainstream market. Also, the meat from each breed has its own characteristic taste and texture, which may even alter slightly through the seasons.

Succulent joints & cuts, stunning sausages & burgers, heavenly home-made pies and probably the best bacon you have tasted for years

Pork that is sumptuous and delicious and makes proper crackling. There is a little more fat than in commercial pork - that's where the tenderness and succulence comes from.

Bacon and gammon that is full of flavour not full of white liquid! Once you have tried our dry-cured bacon - smoked or natural - there's no going back to supermarket bacon. We cut it a little thicker too!

Sausages made from quality cuts of our Gloucester Old Spots pork we consider amongst the finest eating pleasures. And our customers think so too! Don't prick the skins. The natural casings retain the juices and all the flavour.

Home-made pies baked to our traditional family recipes using quality local ingredients and prime cuts of our own traditional and rare breed meat. Steak & stilton and traditional pork pies are amongst our customers favourites.

Beef from our Dexter cattle is in a class apart, as anyone who has tried it will testify. Gently marbled with fat and full of flavour it is sweet and succulent. Brilliant as a traditional roast, excellent as steaks and great in our pies!

Lamb from our primitive breeds such as the Soay, Portland & Shetland has a dense texture dark colour. Most people, when they first try it, cannot believe its sumptuous melt-in-the-mouth full flavour.

And grass-fed traditional & rare breed meat is better for you

Don't take our word for it - at Bristol University researchers have established that grass-fed lamb contains Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are vital to wellbeing and often lacking in the British diet.

Omega-3 fatty acids are important for development and growth and essential to brain and vision development during the final three months of pregnancy.
