All our meat is reared on the croft in Strathnairn (Inverness-shire) with the main produce being beef. Our Shetland herd are grass and hay fed with occasional treats from a bucket to ensure good handling and to minimise their stress when we need to work with them.

Shetland cattle are a rare, native breed that are slower growing than some other breeds but they are lighter under foot and are good at making use of our land that would have minimal use otherwise. We usually send them off around the 30 month mark which can take patience but well worth the wait for the flavour.

As they are from our fields to your fork, feel free to ask any questions about our livestock, the meat itself, or if you would like any inspiration for cooking, it’s a great conversation topic.

We are a member of the Quality Meat Scotland Assurance Scheme to ensure high welfare standards for our livestock and which gives our customers quality meat on their table.

We are also an official Scottish Crofting Producer.

Seen something you want but not sure on the exact pricing or what size you need? Let me know either what size you are after or for how many people and we can calculate it for you so that you can then decide.

Looking for any recommendations, ideas, or unsure about cooking particular cuts? There are a couple of faux pas that are good to know about when cooking meat. It can be very easy to judge a cut because of how it has been cooked. Regarding beef; it is often good to take the hot and fast approach or the slow and low option.
