Sustainably Reared Chearsley Beef

Per her new Down on the Farm blog, Rose Dale of Manor Farm is now selling very local beef from her longhorn herd.

"I expect many of you have seen and admired our small herd of beautiful pedigree English longhorns. They arrived on the farm last April aged around 2, having been born and reared on an organic farm in Cheshire.  In May last year, they were introduced to our handsome bull, Curly, who came from a farm near Banbury that also has a herd of pedigree longhorns.  So far, we have had 18 lovely longhorn babies. We have our first batch of beef coming soon (not from the calves!) – sometime next week I believe.

The beef is basically organic (we are in transition to organic with a year to go), grass fed (meaning it’s high in omega 3 and conjugated linoleic acid and higher vitamin and mineral levels – all good for your health - see the Pasture for Life website- and obviously very eco as there are very low food miles!  It will be sold through Sandy Lane organic farm shop in Tetsworth but I thought people might like to book a one-off delivery to the village. If there is enough interest, we could do this next week. It will be fresh and suitable for freezing. Mince and steak in 1kg packs (sorry, none smaller as butcher is short-staffed due to Covid), steaks in packs of 2 and joints from 1-2kg.

Prices as follows – It is not the cheapest but is high quality and extensively reared in a wildlife friendly, natural system. I hope you will find it good value and delicious. Payment will be based on the actual weight of the beef per kg. We would invoice in advance of delivery and ideally take payment by bank transfer although I am sure we can sort something out if you are keen and can’t do that.
For orders, please email me on rose@daleandheybrook.com
All the best,
Rose
