Frequently asked questions
-
Grass fed beef can contain up to four times more Vitamin E, a valuable anti-oxidant, than conventional beef. Vitamin E has a vital role repairing cell damage, protecting our health against the effects of ageing and chronic inflammation. Grass fed organic beef is generally lower in saturated fat than conventional beef and therefore is a good meat choice, once weekly, to ensure you can still benefit from its valuable nutrients like high quality protein, iron and Vitamin B12. There are also several other reasons why choosing organic beef is a good idea. Grass fed beef are vital for natural ecosystems to thrive, no pesticides and fertilisers on the land and high animal welfare in organic systems (medicines are only used when absolutely necessary, unlike in the farming of conventional beef animals having a detrimental effect on our health).

If you are looking for an impressive roasting joint then look no further than beef sirloin, it’s lean but packed with juicy flavour and has even won an award from Taste of the West. It's an easy to cook joint that makes a hearty roast-dinner centrepiece. Because the sirloin is such a big cut of meat, our butchers have boned, rolled and neatly tied it. This means it cooks through evenly and consistently and carving is a doddle.
-
Organic beef has to be certified by an approved organic body to a number of set organic standards. These include the space that an organic beef animal has to graze, the way that its food is grown, without the use of pesticides and or unapproved fertilisers. The standards for organic beef also cover use of medicines (no routine drugs, growth promoters or additives added) and other points that improve the welfare and conditions throughout the life of the animal and on through slaughter and butchery. Coombe Farm Organic is certified organic by the Soil Association.
