Description
An award-winning family run farm, which has been established for over a hundred years. It is situated on the Dengie Peninsular and runs from the village of Steeple, right down to the Blackwater Estuary. They are a Farm Assured British Beef & Lamb (FABBL) farm, ensuring the high standards of care and control they have over their animals. During the summer months their sheep and cattle graze down on the banks of the River Blackwater on environmentally sensitive grass and marshland areas. This helps to produce high quality, full flavoured meat; they sell their produce at local framers’ markets, and frozen lamb and beef is available from their farm gate all year round.

Jo works hard to produce premium quality home-farmed lamb and beef for her farm gate sales and for the many local farmers markets that she attends. The farm has the highest regard for standards - both observed and promoted; Jo has promoted the EBLEX standard to their slaughterhouse so that the meat sold is both Farm Assured and EBLEX. The ethos of the family is best practice in farming - in additon to award winning (Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group – Golden Hare), the family run farm which has been established for over 100 years has an emphasis on environmental issues. Friendly, informative and selling the very best quality of meat, she is a regular attendee at Essex farmers markets and has established the Steeple Farmers Market to help the local community cut down their food miles too.

Farm Assured British Beef & Lamb farm ensures high standards of care for animals; during Summer sheep and cattle graze near the banks of the Blackwater River on marshland areas. In Winter, they are housed in the barns and fed on home grown rolled barley and hayliage. This helps to produce a quality, full flavoured meat. The owner-maneged family run business has a wonderful feel for both the animals and customers. A pleasure to do business with them. And the meat is delicious! Friendly service by Joanne Partridge who can make arrangements for delivery or sells at local Farmers Markets in Burnham, Steeple and Barnston
