We get our beef from several small independent farms, such as Manor Farm in Wiltshire, where Pip Browning and her family raise traditional breeds of cattle such as Hereford and Aberdeen Angus. She believes in very high standards of animal welfare, and her cows graze on clover leys spread across 500 acres of organic land. Mark and Jane Melly at Box Farm also provide us with beef from the heart of the North Wessex Downs in Hampshire. They breed traditional native breeds such as Angus, Shorthorn and South Devon suckler cows, and also have excellent standards of animal welfare. The cows graze on rich clover pastures, and get a well earned rest in between calving. Mark and Jane have been working hard to enhance levels of wildlife on their land by planting hedges and creating nesting sites for birds.
Our lean beef mince comes in a pack that weighs approximately 500g. This is enough to feed 2-4 people.
We guarantee that your order of meat and fish will have at least 3 days before its expiry date, including the day of your delivery. All of our meat and fish can be frozen.
Beef (100%)
Although beef contains saturated fats, small portions of beef are highly beneficial as a concentrated source of protein, iron and vitamins. Beef, as with all meat, is a good source of protein. Beef can help prevent and treat anaemia, due to its concentrated source of iron. Beef also contains large amounts of B vitamins, helpful in energy conversion in all parts of the body.
Beef mince should always be cooked until the juices run clear. If making a dish such as chilli con carne or spaghetti bolognese, it's best to fry the mince in a pan for a few minutes, to seal and caramelise the meat. Then it can be added to your recipe. Beef should be kept at a very cool temperature, wrapped and kept away from other foods. Beef can be frozen, but should be thoroughly defrosted before cooking.
