Lamb, hogget and mutton

Our sheep are raised on diverse pasture, grazing naturally on grass, herbs and forage through the seasons.

We’ve learned a lot about sheep in the past year. Much of it has been about livestock handling, pasture management and the weather(!) but some of it has been about the personalities and what it takes to give sheep a healthy and happy life.  We think a life well lived produces a healthier animal which in turn will produce a better source of nourishment for ourselves.

We’re now selling our meat for the first time.  Our sheep have been professionally slaughtered and butchered with Halal certification.  We’re selling the meat direct from the butcher in half carcass boxes, cut as described below.

Lamb

Lamb is the meat from a sheep under one year old.  It’s tender and mild in flavour.

We plan to have this year’s lamb available to purchase around the end of 2026 / early 2027.

Hogget

Hogget is the meat from a sheep between one and two years of age.  Hogget has had the benefit of a second season grazing pasture, allowing the meat to develop greater depth and character than lamb.

Half hogget box - £15 per kg [SOLD OUT]

This batch of hogget (June 2026) is from sheep 13 months old.

Half hogget boxes are priced per kg.  A typical box will weigh around 10-13kg (£150-£195) with cuts as below (weights approximate):

Mutton

Mutton is the meat from a sheep older than two years.  It benefits from long, slow cooking to bring out the richness and depth of flavour.
