People want to know where their food has come from, what it has been fed and who has looked after it. With these three principles, we have decided to bring a taste of the mountain into your homes.
Ed has always had a passion for sheep farming and the environment and where better to nurture this than on the Sugarloaf. Of course, Wales has always had an esteemed history in producing lamb of the highest quality and we believe we are situated in the perfect position to bring this right to your door.
Our family-run company strives to deliver you the highest quality lamb from a sustainable and grass based farming system. Reared on and around the Sugarloaf Mountain, high above Abergavenny - 'The Gateway to Wales' , we aim to provide you with delicious, high welfare lamb for every occasion.
We use a mixture of native breeds such as the Welsh Mountain and Easycare (actually a composite of several native breeds) along with home bred Texel Rams to produce a consistent and fully traceable, delicious lamb - every time.
All of our sheep graze semi improved and semi natural pastures as well as the mountain. Grazing a diverse sward containing native grasses, legumes and herbs results in a slow grown, stress free and delicious lamb which has had minimal intervention from us and has been allowed to mature in the most natural of surroundings.
With full traceability and low food miles this really provides you with full peace of mind knowing exactly where your meal has come from.
Ed and his partner Hattie have a passion to bring the highest quality lamb to your door!
The year starts with lambing in April when the weather is 'usually' better and our ewes can lamb outside naturally. Throughout the summer our lambs are bounding and grazing around beautiful pastures and hills and enjoying the beautiful Welsh weather and our amazing surroundings.
Then in the autumn we begin to select lambs for butchering as they mature to weight. Each lamb is hand selected by Ed making sure we deliver a quality and consistent product to you.
Finally, when our hard work is done and the lambs are ready for you we team up with a quality young butcher, Ben, who shares our vision for providing quality meat to you. Taking real pride in his work!
Of course, we can't do this without our helpful sheepdog Joy, who loves to help whenever she can!
