Having converted to organic in 2007 we introduced a traditional suckler herd of pasture-fed Aberdeen Angus to extensively graze the flower-rich grassland, unimproved pasture and herbal leys that were introduced as part of the Higher Level Stewardship scheme. The cattle flourish on this diverse diet, rich in nutrients and de-wormers as well as other health benefits, thus reducing vet bills and a decline in illness and sickness

100% Certified Pasture-fed livestock form part of a holistic high welfare grazing system which builds soil fertility, pasture quality and biodiversity. Thereby promoting carbon sequestration as well as improving the nutritional value of the meat

  • Lower total fat levels and lower saturated fat content

  • More omega-3 and lower omega-6 fatty acids

  • High in minerals including calcium, magnesium and potassium

  • Source of heme iron which is more easily absorbed by the body

  • High in vitamins including A, E and B12

  • Source of zinc and conjugated Linoleic and vaccenic acid

  • Lower total fat levels

Historically, stores and finished animals have been sold locally through Daylesford Farm Shop and Duchy of Cornwall supplying Waitrose. More recently we are exploring options to sell direct to market and through local supply chains
