Who we are
About the farm
We have farmed Airies Knowes (known locally as “The Boo”) in the Machars district of Galloway since 1999: alongside 220 acres (about 89 ha) of mixed farmland we also manage 306 acres (about 124 ha) of woodland. Our main business is extensive beef cattle and lamb production; we raise our Dexter cattle on an almost entirely grass-based diet, grazing in summer and on our own silage and hay in winter, and calves stay with their mothers until 7–8 months of age. A local butcher hangs our beef for 21 days and cuts it; we deliver it vacuum-packed as quarters or eighths locally ourselves, and send our beef boxes nationwide by next-day courier. We do not run a farm shop: orders are taken through the contact form on our website or on our Facebook page.

Write a review
How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
