“Knowing where your meat comes from and how it's been reared gives you real peace of mind”
Where It All Started:
Where a passion began and a lifestyle grew
We are a husband and wife team who live in Bovey Tracey, Devon, where we farm on the edge of Dartmoor.
In 2001 we moved to Bovey Tracey and in the spring of 2002 we started up our own gardening & agricultural business and in 2009 were able to purchase a small starter flock & rent 10 acres. Now in 2022 we have lambed 90 ewes but knowing we would lose land for grazing this year we have reduced our flock to 55 breeding yews on 30 acres.
We are focussing on breeding Bleu de Maine as they are easier lambers and they have a higher meat to bone percentage whilst also having a very lean meat. Alongside our Bleu de Maine’s we have Suffolk’s and with our son coming on-board we have a growing flock of Grey Faced Dartmoor’s too.
With the uncertainty of the Brexit market and the concern of cheap and low standard imported meat, it’s important to buy locally produced lamb.
