Over the years we've supplied some incredible restaurants in London complete with stars... (ones I could never afford to at dine at on a farmers wage!) Having been in the farming game for ten plus years we felt part of our evolution should be to make more of a concerted effort to stand on our own two feet.
We need to become more independent and take a bit more credit for the incredible Pasture for Life and Organically certified meat we raise here at Essebeare Farm.
Direct sales is a tricky beast to juggle especially when your a small organic farm but it is something we have aspired to do for a while now. I've lived too many years a little bit too isolated and and in the shadows and I've come to appreciate the most wonderful thing about selling stuff to real people is that you get to chat to your customers and you feel wholly better about what your doing and why your doing it.
I sadly read this week that we lost Chef Skye Gyngell to skin cancer. Skye poineered the slow food movement - The idea that we can give our food time to grow, we can use local and sustainable ingredients. Her inspiration is a sad loss to many. We're grateful to Skye for her vision and ethos and the business and menus she has inspired over the years. The Slow Food movement is very much on our radar and we will look to become members next year.
If you would like to celebrate some proper slow grown Organic Pasture for Life lamb direct from our farm please check out or shop. Orders now being taken for Christmas.
