Our Organic Pedigree Hereford suckler herd are used specifically to manage 100 ha of Species-Rich Calcareous Grassland, created as part of a Higher Level Stewardship Scheme. The cows, calves, yearlings and two-year olds are kept as a big family group and out-wintered on our thin Cotswold Brash soils, supplemented only by late-cut hay from our wild flower meadows.

The farm has recently won awards from the Farming & Wildlife Advisory Group, Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and Glos Wildlife Trust and is a demonstration farm for Natural England.

Any two-year old cattle not retained for breeding are taken by us to a local abattoir, where the sides are dry-aged for 4 weeks before being butchered to our specification and vacuum packed. We sell all our own meat direct to consumers at local shows or collected by (or posted to) an ever increasing number of clients.
