The Heritage Meat Hut

The Heritage Meat Hut Based in the hamlet of Paythorne, on the outskirts of the Ribble Valley, we are a family run non-intensive farm; producing the finest quality of meats.

The Dexters (Beef)
Dexters are the smallest native breed of cattle to the British Isles, producing smaller family sized joints and cuts of beef with amazing flavour. Our cattle are grass fed all year round, grazing moorland in the summer months and having the finest quality hay during the winter months. This traditional diet provides a lean meat high in vitamins A & E and omega 3. The Sheep (Lamb)


The sheep flock consists of Ryelands (a traditional British sheep breed) and Ryeland cross breeds, which like the Dexter’s thrive on the good quality grass diet with no need to use commercial feeds to fatten the lambs. Lambs are usually kept over the winter and butchered as Hogget’s, this slower grown non intensive approach provides a lot leaner lamb meat with similar health benefits to the beef. The Pigs (Pork)
Until recently we have bought in weaner piglets to grown on and finish ourselves. However we are now in the early stages of starting our own breeding programme with our Tamworth Gilts. This will mean we can produce pork which has been born and raised hear on the farm just like with the beef and lamb meats. Our pigs enjoy a portion of ration (feed) twice a day although their diet is enriched by adding seasonal fresh fruit or vegetables to their diet on a daily basis. This may be apples in the autumn, sprouts and carrots in the winter or berries in the summer. The Final Product
To keep the food miles as low as we can, our ‘finished’ livestock is taken direct to the slaughterhouse by ourselves. Once the carcasses are ready they are taken to Barkers Yorkshire Butchers in Skipton, where the meat is professionally prepared, vacuum packed and labelled. When ready of you the customers the meat is stored in our temperature controlled fridges and freezers, on the farm.

🚜 Kilnsey Show 2026 🚜
Tuesday we had a rare brake from the farm (well for most of the day) and enjoyed a brilliant family day with the tractors at Kilnsey show. James even brought a rosette home for his Case!
The original Meat Hut Box also made an appearance: which some of you will remember from before we had the trailer. Was the prefect set up for sheltering from the rain and making brews in 🤣
We will all definitely be there again with the tractors next year 👍

Good morning everyone,
I just wanted to apologise for closing early yesterday, which was completely unplanned.

Some of you will have seen the air ambulance landing next to our farm yesterday. It was there to assist a poorly man in the village, and we all hope he makes a full recovery.

Since our youngest son’s accident just over two years ago, I have battled with PTSD. Following an already challenging week, I’m frustrated to say that yesterday the PTSD won. It was the first time it has affected me to the point where I was mentally and physically unable to remain open with the shop.

We have done a lot of fundraising for the Air Ambulance over the years, and we will be eternally grateful to them for their role in trying to save Thomas.

Yesterday was the first time one had landed in such close proximity to me since that day, and I think that, combined with everything else, was simply more than I could manage.

Today is a new day, though, and those animals won’t care for themselves! ❤️

If anyone was hoping to collect from the trailer yesterday and missed me, please call or message me and we can arrange a collection from the farm.

Thank you so much for your understanding and support.

Do you or someone you know have any apple trees in garden?
We would be very grateful of any apples for the piggies even the windfalls!

Our only request is that the apples haven’t been in a kitchen: there are very strict rules about feeding pigs or any farm animals kitchen waste.

Many thanks
Jo
