Who we are
About the farm
We are Jane Emerson and Peter Stoeken; we bought our first deer in 1987 and today farm 210 acres (about 85 ha) at Penruddock near Penrith, on the northern edge of the Lake District National Park. We rear Red deer and, since 2003, pedigree Dexter cattle naturally and extensively on pasture; our deer are slaughtered in our own on-farm slaughterhouse, our beef is dry-aged for three to four weeks, and all meat is cut in our small on-farm butchery, where we also make our own sausages and burgers. We sell through our online shop with local home delivery, next-day courier delivery to most of the UK, and collection from the farm or from our farmers' markets; 10% of our land is managed for conservation.

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.
