As one of Britains best butchers, I am always on the look out for new exciting farmers that can supply us with new local products. So I was particularly interested when Derek from Stream farm made an opportune visit to us and explained his offer.
Stream farm have a herd of 250 Organically grown Dexter beef cattle that are renown for the marbling and flavour of the meat. A large herd of organically grown lamb that have a good layer of fat which keeps the meat tender even when cooked pink. Organic rare breed pigs that are reared in an orchard and left to root outside and have a varied natural diet. Organic gold chickens with well developed legs & breasts that have been grown at a natural wieght in natural surroundings for the breed.
I have placed my order with the Farmer and have my first body of Dexter beef hanging for delivery in a fortnight (I am getting really hungry now!). I have a chicken to taste over the weekend from the farm; so I am very exited about my Sunday lunch.
On top of all this he has an organic apple juice, spring water and Rainbow trout from their hatching stream. Yum, yum. I hope you are as exited as I am. Watch this space I will let you know the results.
