ORGANIC & GRASS FED
On our farms in the Cotswolds and Staffordshire, and like the community of
British beef farmers we sometimes partner with, we choose to raise our herds
organically. We believe traditional, low-impact, high-welfare organic farming
produces the finest meat and benefits the animals and the land. Organic herds
mature slowly, in harmony with their true nature, nourishing the soil they roam
on - which keeps the British countryside diverse and thriving.
DRY-AGED
We built our own abattoir on the farm to ensure the highest animal welfare and
reduce food miles. It's there where our butchers work patiently to dry-age the
steaks in our Himalayan salt chamber. The salt draws out the moisture and the
ageing creates an intense umami flavour. The 35 days we hang our meat for is the
perfect length for a tender steak with an exceptional taste.
OUR FARM'S RARE & NATIVE BREEDS
Rare and native breeds are naturally suited to traditional farming methods and
an outdoor life. We raise five breeds on our pastures and are proud to be part
of Britain's living heritage:
GLOUCESTER A rare, native breed that produces both meat and milk with an
incredible depth of flavour. Gloucester cattle have been bred since the 14th
century and were recently in danger of extinction. In 2006 we rescued a small
herd and brought them to our Cotswolds farm, where they thrive.
ABERDEEN ANGUS This world-renowned breed is known for its rich marbling and
exceptional flavour. Originating from Scottish cattle in the 1800s, we have been
breeding Aberdeen Angus at Daylesford for over 30 years.
SOUTH DEVON This breed produces tender, well-marbled beef. The largest native
breed in Britain today, bred since the 1700s in the West Country.
HEREFORD Consistently tender and bred since the 1700s in Herefordshire,
neighbouring our Cotswolds farm.
RUBY RED This versatile breed also known as 'Red Poll' is noted for exceptional
tenderness, good marbling and well-developed flavour. Bred in England since the
latter half of the 19th century for both milk and meat.
