We grow food

The most ethical and sustainable meat

100% grass fed & organic, Pasture or woodland reared meat using regenerative practices

Taste the love and care we give our animals. They live peaceful, content and fulfilling lives. And the way we manage them helps the countryside & the planet

100% grass fed and grass finished organic beef and lamb – nutritious & delicious

Our cattle and sheep eat grass and preserved grass only, never ever any grain. In that way, their meat is high in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, antioxidants, and more. It’s also lower in fat than conventional beef, as our animals are leaner and have less marbling.

Plus, our animals are carefully managed in their grazing – they are moved daily to fresh area of pasture. We ensure their daily forage is at its most nutritious peak, to create the most nutrient-dense meat.

How our 100% grass fed cattle and sheep live...

Slow-grown proper outdoor woodland pork

Outdoor pigs are best managed when their range is moved regularly, to ensure they continue eating greens, roots, nuts, seeds and insect, that woodland and pasture are full of.

Our pigs are part of our land restoration programme and never stay anywhere for longer than 10 days. We make sure they have fresh area of woodland or pasture on a regular basis. We also restrict their pelleted organic feed to ensure high level of foraging.

The resulting meat is in taste unsurpassed by any other free range pork.

The ultimate pastured chicken – better than you imagined

Our chickens live in a biodiverse pasture, and are moved in their mobile floorless pen to a fresh area of pasture every day. In this way, they continually eat fresh grass, herbs and insect, both in their range and inside their pen.

Our chickens are restricted in their feed. As a result, they actively forage for greens and insect, and mature slowly for better nutritional value and taste of their meat.

The picture below was taken just after I moved them to a fresh piece of pasture, as I do every morning. They all get excited to hunt and forage to be the first to discover the tastiest bits – grass, soil or insect.

Farming that's good for wildlife

Our farming methods are centred around restoring our land. We manage our livestock in a way that increases biodiversity, carefully supporting wildlife hotspots and creating new habitats on our farms.

In our pasture management we strive to increase biodiversity by mimicking nature in our grazing practice. The ecosystems regenerate and plants that never used to be present on the farm suddenly appear. Nature is wonderful.

Just as plant diversity increases, so does insect life. Our pastures provide plenty of nectar, as well as breeding and hunting ground for many different insect classes, from bees, butterflies, moths, to beetles and ants.

thriving wildlife

Birds and mammals are finding their home in our rich regenerated farmland, including ground nesting birds, owls and predatory birds, as well as hare and deer. Since we plan to keep plenty of food and nesting ground for them in our pasture management, they are increasing in numbers and diversity.

Farming that's helping the planet

What is more, the way we farm is helping the planet. We stimulate grasslands with our grazing practices to store CO2 from the air inside the soil, to feed soil life, and to create better water resiliency in droughts and floods.

It’s the farming of the future – for nutritious food the natural way, while supporting wildlife and helping to slow down global warming.

Taste meat that's different

With careful aging, we ensure our meat is at its best taste and texture. Along with our butchers, we prepare meat cuts that celebrate the variety of flavours and textures of our meat.

Plus, our animals are slow-growing, which takes time and patience. But it’s worth wating for – their meat tastes unlike any other.

Testimonials

“Never has meat tasted so good!”

Nature Way Farm is such a fantastic business, the quality of the meat is 2nd to none and the recipes and herbs provided in the monthly packages are so inspiring. When you add in the incredibly friendly and fantastic customer service, you just can’t beat them. Thoroughly recommended, from a very very happy customer.

Only recently discovered Nature Way meat boxes and can’t speak highly enough of the quality of the meat, the personal service and the ethos. The taste of the meat is unique and it offers better value and taste than the organic meat I used to buy. Highly recommended

...And the meat itself is just delicious, it might take people a while to get over the fact this is real meat, with fat on it, and not quite as much as you would get for your £ in the supermarkets, but oh how much nicer does it taste, and how much better it is for you ! I would rather eat less great quality meat that’s been responsibly farmed with no additives, than a lot of meat with rubbish in it, so a huge thank you, and a massive well done for all the doing and hard work, I dont think it could be done any better Radka, I honestly dont I’m one very happy customer 😁😁😁

Never has meat tasted so good! And great for the environment. Knowing the animals are well cared for is an absolute bonus. So happy we heard about you. By the way – also great packing and service.Thank you so much.
