Pasture Fed Beef

Locally produced, pasture-fed, seasonal beef, reared under conservation agriculture principles.

We have been working with the Royal Agricultural University for the last 30 years to actively manage low-input wildflower grassland through conservation grazing with cattle.  These limestone grasslands are an extremely rare and valuable habitat – the Cotswolds has lost 96% of its limestone grassland since the 1930s, but what’s left represents over 50% of the UK’s total.

Grazing through the winter, our small herd of Belted Galloway cattle play a vital role in controlling dominant species and maintaining diversity within the sward, promoting the conditions for wildflowers which in turn support 28 different species of butterfly present on the estate.
