Beef Production
Our Northumberland farms produce premium beef using traditional Limousin and Charolais breeds selected for local conditions. Cattle are raised on grass-fed diets with winter silage and home-mixed feed. The butchery employs traditional maturation and hand-cutting techniques to ensure superior flavour and quality. This commitment to provenance has earned multiple Great Taste Awards.
Pork Farming
We specialise in high-welfare pork production using 50% Duroc breeds suited to our straw-based system. Pigs are raised from weaners through to market weight with natural feeding regimens. Our dry-cure bacon and award-winning sausages have received national recognition, including Great Taste Gold Medals in 2010 and regional sausage awards.
Lamb Rearing
Our flock of North Country Mule ewes with Texel and Beltex rams produces premium lamb suited to Northumberland's terrain. The traditional breeding programme focuses on both meat quality and environmental adaptation. The farm shop regularly features speciality cuts and has received accolades for its lamb products.
