Organic Lamb
Rich in nutrients and full of robust, distinctive flavour, our slow-grown, grass-fed organic lamb is a firm family favourite. Succulent steaks and juicy chops make for quick midweek suppers, while delicious roasting joints are the last word in tradition. Roll out a fabulous rack of lamb at your next dinner party to really wow your guests with a centrepiece that tastes every bit as good as it looks. All lamb comes from free-range animals born and reared in our lush, sustainable West Country pastures where they lead active lives - we believe meat produced this way is better than that which comes from intensive systems.
