WHO ARE THE ORGANIC BUTCHERY?
Starting life as an organic farm in the heart of the West Country, The Organic Butchery is proudly founded on a long history of organic principles. We source the best quality organic grass-fed and wild meats, sustainable fish and organic free-range poultry from trusted local suppliers and like-minded brands to guarantee the highest standards of animal welfare and environmental stewardship. Our mission is to approach butchery with a whole-carcass perspective, to make the most of every animal that crosses our blocks, which means we offer you cuts that you will never see on the supermarket shelves.
WHAT IS ORGANIC PORK?
We rear organic pigs that are a cross of traditional, native breeds. Reared outdoors, they have plenty of space to express their natural instincts - they love to wallow, rootle and forage in the grass for bugs. Growing our animals slowly ensures their meat has great flavour and texture, balanced by just the right amount of fat.

Frequently asked questions
-
Sausage is made by combining ground cuts of meat, most traditionally pork, herbs and seasoning, it is then funnelled into a natural hog casing to make a sausage. Our sausages are hand-made using traditional methods in our on-farm butchery. What’s important to us is letting the quality of our slow-grown organic meat shine through. That means only natural ingredients, in their purest forms, and definitely never, ever any nasty fillers, preservatives or additives. We add organic Scottish oats to each recipe to create a texture with hearty bite and substance, and a mix of organic herbs and spices to enhance the flavour of the meat. And because we use organic meat reared in a high-welfare system, we’re confident we’ve got flavour covered.
-
