It doesn't get more local than this!
Local beef from Froxfield, West Berkshire.
We are incredibly proud to be working with Green Farm, Froxfield who are now supplying us with their quality Red Devon beef. This farm is 1 mile up the road from our farm shop in Hungerford… it really doesn’t get more local than this!
Devon cattle are red in colour, varying in shade from a rich deep red to a light red or chestnut colour. A bright ruby red colour accounts for their nickname, the "Ruby Red".
Devon’s are active good "walkers" and are excellent foragers. Their ability to utilize grass and other forages efficiently has heightened their popularity.
In recent years the breed has fallen out of favour, as more rapidly growing continental breeds were in demand by supermarkets because of their speed of maturity and the quantity of higher-value cuts they produce. However, that meat has always been of a lower-eating quality than that of the slower-maturing grass-fed traditional breeds such as these.
We have aged this beef for a minimum of 28 days.
