Is your meat organic?
No, but due to the breed of the animals we rear they do not require intensive farming and are also fairly robust in health terms. They are given vaccines when small against the most common diseases and anything that needs a lot of treatment is not sold through the shop even though it will have completed its legally required retention time.
What breeds are the animals?
The cattle are Herefords - red with white faces. The pigs are Gloucester old spot and the lambs are crossbred but will eventually all be Shropshire or Shropshire-cross. The chickens are warrens-all breeds that are traditional and particularly well suited to extensive outdoor rearing.
How far away are they slaughtered?
They are taken by our own transport to a small family slaughterhouse between Oswestry and Wrexham. It takes about 30 minutes.
Are your jams homemade?
The jams that are homemade are clearly labeled, we also buy in other preserves that we consider to be very tasty.
How should I carve the meat?
You should always cut across the grain for the most tender meat. If you are cutting the wrong way you can see long strands of meat running across the surface cut. If you are not sure try both ways and it will soon become obvious. Don't be frightened to try things out or ask when you buy.
