Here
on the pure high limestone pastures of the Environmentally
Sensitive Area of The Dales, we have an age old farming system
that is kind to the land, and kind to the animals that roam
freely, grazing on a totally natural diet of sedges, heathers
and wild thymes, which impart a sweet, essential flavour
to this totally natural, lean, sweet meat.
Our
hardy Dalesbred flock have been in the Horner family for
eight generations. By always breeding all our own replacement
stock, this provides absolute traceability; which is particularly
significant for our Aberdeen Angus X beef herd. Also by being
reared on grass and home produced fodder without the use
of growth promoters or routinely administered antibiotics,
we are confident this has to be a prime example of the purest
and healthiest meat.
After
a very free natural life, by going directly from the farm to the inevitable,
we are convinced that this is the kindest, most humane solution for
a farmed animal. Traditionally matured on the hook and expertly cut.
It is with pride and satisfaction that we present pure meat of the
highest quality
from a truly sustainable farming system that maintains the charm, heritage
and character of The Dales as we know them.
