Things were going well until, like many rural businesses, we were affected by the Foot and Mouth crisis in 2001. Realising that we needed to diversify in order to keep the business going, we decided to butcher our own pigs to sell at local farmers’ markets which were becoming increasingly popular. We soon outgrew our small converted butchery as demand for our meat products grew rapidly, so, to ens
ure consistency of quality for our customers, we are licensed under the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and have Safe and Local Supplier Approval (SALSA) accreditation. As all the meat we supply comes direct from the farm we offer a premium product. We know the breeds of our livestock and take great pride in the way they are reared, hung on the bone, cut and packed. Our Animals
Our animals are well cared for and roam freely across more than 50 acres of lush farmland. They are fed on a wholesome diet and graze the pastures of the Forest of Bowland, ensuring excellent tasting, top quality produce.
