Who we are
About the farm
At Shalford Green near Braintree in Essex, we are a third-generation family farm raising mainly native Sussex cattle that graze the meadows all year round; we produce our own hay, straw and silage for winter feed. Since 2015 our 100% grass-fed beef has been certified by the Pasture for Life Association, the first in Essex, and we also raise rare-breed, free-range pigs. Our beef is dry-aged on the bone for 28 days, and since December 2018 we have sold it in our own butchery and farm shop; meat boxes (also as a monthly subscription) can be ordered online for national delivery or collection from the farm. We host farm-to-fork dinners in the farm's historic thatched barn, as well as farm walks, workshops and school visits.

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.
