100% Grass Fed Beef
Our cattle are slowly grown to maturity, reaching 31-36 months of age. We prioritise farming in harmony with nature to ensure consistent, exceptional tasting British beef with excellent marbling. Our grass-fed beef is hung on the bone for a minimum of four weeks to enhance the depth of flavour.
Slowly Grown, Speedily Delivered
All of our grass-fed meat is prepared with care in small, ethical local abattoirs and our experienced team of passionate artisan butchers.
Frequently Asked Questions for Grass Fed Beef
DO YOU REAR ALL THE MEAT AT PIPERS FARM?
Pipers Farm is 55 acres of beautiful permanent pasture with deep hedgerows. At Pipers Farm HQ we rear a herd of native Red Ruby cattle, Suffolk-tup lambs and Swaledale mutton sheep. During the summer months we have a small parcel of Native Breed pigs. In addition to the livestock reared at Pipers Farm HQ we also work with 30 incredible farms who grow for us to our exacting standards. You can find out more about our farms by visiting our sustainable farming page.
IS ALL YOUR BEEF GRASS FED AND GRASS FINISHED?
Yes, all of our beef, lamb and mutton is 100% grass fed and grass finished. Our cattle, lambs and mutton sheep only eat forage and mother's milk for their entire lives. We simply do not believe in feeding them anything else.
DO YOU USE HORMONES IN YOUR MEAT?
We do not use hormones in our meat. It is a common misconception that hormones are used in British meat. Using growth hormones in meat production has been banned in the EU since 1989. Currently, the UK has a ban on both producing and importing hormone treated meat, which means no British farmer (no matter the standards) is able to use hormones in the production of their meat. However, there is pressure on the UK Government to lower their standards and allow imports from countries such as US and Australia, meaning hormone treated meat could be available on our shelves. Regardless of changes to trade deals and agricultural policy, we will never, ever use hormones in Pipers Farm meat.
