Further Description
  • Cottage Farm is a small traditionally run, sustainable organic farm near Jacobstow in North Cornwall. Our animals spend all their lives on our farm grazing peacefully on the lush green permanent pastures of our fields. No fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides are applied. Further more, our animals are fed almost exclusively on grass: no supplements and no GM feeds. Most beef available in shops is from Continental breeds which grow fast and big. To support this rate of growth they need to be fed vast quantities of supplementary GM fodder, as those are the cheapest.In contrast we have chosen a local, traditional breed, the Red Ruby North Devon cattle, which are well suited to the conditions in Cornwall, do well simply on grass and do not need any supplementary feed. As a result, our meat is beautifully marbled, tender and delicious as well as having an excellent flavour. It is also very pleasing to think what happy and peaceful lives the animals have led on our farm: no stress, just open fields of green grass, their idea of heaven!As Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall says in his River Cottage Meat book: "The Red Ruby cattle have an excellent, mild temperament and are extremely well adapted  to unfertilized grazing. Bred to withstand harsh winters, they grow more slowly and have natural ability to put on fat reserves. It is this natural growth pace and natural diet that makes the close-grained, well-marbled meat British beef at its best. They simply produce the best beef I have ever tasted."Enough said. Try one of our fresh meat boxes and I assure you you will not be disappointed. Email or telephone Celia for a local brochure or check the website for national delivery.
