Description
In an age of mass production and intensive farming, rare traditional breeds are making a comeback. The meat from our rare breeds has a flavour and quality few may remember, but once tasted, few will forget. Click HERE to browse our shop.
Our traditional British livestock breeds have the old fashioned qualities that our grandparents remember. They are breeds that thrive in non intensive, natural farming environments. They don't need growth promoters, hormones or the routinely fed antibiotics that are currently the cause of national concern.
Because traditional breeds grow a little more slowly than modern ones, the meat develops better, truer flavour. Unlike the bland sameness of modern meat, the meat from every traditional breed has its own special qualities, just as different varieties of apples do. That is why rare breeds' meat is so valued by Britain's leading restaurateurs.
At first glance, promoting the eating of rare breeds seems an odd way of conserving them. But, unlike wild animals, farm animals, rare or otherwise, have to pay their way. Farming is, after all, a business - and a difficult one at that.
