Description

Eversfield Organic based at Ellercott Barton, Bratton Clovelly is one of the few organic farms where every single process takes place onsite making our organic meat totally organic and completely traceable. We breed, raise and butcher our own meat, even the packaging and delivery is handled right here on the farm.  In fact, the only thing we don´t do ourselves is slaughter our own livestock but to keep the process as humane as possible and minimise transportation, we use specialist local organic abattoirs.
 
Eversfield has a unique herd of ‘Heritage’ Aberdeen Angus.  These are wonderfully stocky, hardy cows that thrive on the species rich rough grazing of the ‘Culm’ grasslands, producing dark, deeply marbled meat with supreme flavour.  As the only estate in the world with the near extinct ‘Presteign’ bloodline of traditional native Aberdeen Angus, we have an active breeding programme to make sure that this important line is saved for posterity.
 
Eversfield organic lamb is born and reared on our farm from a flock of mixed sheep comprising Romney Marsh (the same breed used for New Zealand lamb) and Suffolk cross Mules.  This type of sheep is ideally suited to forage the lowland meadows and Culm grassland of the Estate and live outdoors year round only coming inside for lambing.
 
The pigs are a mixture of Large White and Medam sows with Large Black sows all renowned for producing quality pork.  Our pigs live outdoors in large fenced of meadows, allowed to forage naturally and root about for grubs and plants. We supplement their diet with organic feed and they have large pig arc shelters to protect them from the sun, wind and rain. Our pigs are an important part of the rotation of our organic pastures
 
During the game season, our gamekeeper manages several small herds of wild Red deer and Roe deer to ensure conservation standards. We also run a successful commercial pheasant shoot on the Eversfield Estate. This means that our butchers are able to supply wild venison and pheasant subject to availability in the winter months. The wild deer make their home on our organic Eversfield Estate grazing in our meadows and woodland, but since we don’t control their diet we cannot describe the meat as organic venison
