Family farm established over 30 years ago, current flock started in 2007.
-
Located in Holt, near Wimborne in Dorset
-
We specialise in Ryeland and crossbred Ryeland sheep. The Ryeland is one of the oldest breeds in the UK, with origins dating back to the 13th Century. They're a slow-maturing, compact sheep who favour the mixed pastures and hedgerows that we provide for them, selecting a wide variety of plants to eat, not just grass. All of which gives the meat added flavour.
-
We focus on producing meat from 2-3 year old animals who've had a chance to grow slowly – giving the meat a superb flavour and texture.
-
Our sheep are raised entirely outdoors, and fed only on grass pasture (supplemented by our own hay in the winter).
-
Minimal chemical inputs, we don't medicate, spray or dip the animals unless it's absolutely necessary for their wellbeing.
-
Wintering outdoors results in meat with less fat. The sheep are finished on spring grass for sweetness and contented animals.
Mutton from our flock is available for purchase from: Oakley Butchers, Wimborne, Dorset.
