About The Farm

Our History

We moved from the UK to France in 2014, bringing with us a farming background and a passion for producing high-quality food. Farming has always been part of our family life, and over the past twelve years our farm here in the Indre has grown and evolved into what it is today.

We began with Limousin beef cattle, and in 2015 we introduced sheep to the farm. During those early years we also started selling our produce directly from the farm through a small vente directe, offering our own beef and lamb to local customers.

In 2020 we expanded the farm further after purchasing the neighbouring property and began milking cows. Our herd now includes Normande, Simmental and Montbéliarde breeds, chosen for their ability to produce milk with excellent fat and protein levels. These breeds also produce outstanding beef animals when crossed with Angus and Limousin bulls.

Our cows are spring calving, and we are developing a grass-based farming system, aiming to produce as much milk as possible from grass. Establishing this system has taken time, but it allows us to farm in a way that works with nature while producing high-quality meat and milk.
Alongside the farming, we have continued to develop the farm for visitors by renovating the restaurant, building a new farm shop and opening our small farm park.

 

Our Farm Shop

Today our farm operates on a true Farm to Fork philosophy, where we produce, prepare and sell our food directly from the farm.
In our farm shop we offer:

  • Cross-bred beef from our Normande, Simmental and Montbéliarde cows
  • Beef from Angus and Limousin crosses
  • Grass-fed lamb produced on the farm
  • Pork from a trusted local pig farmer

 

High Quality Meat

All of our pork is transformed on site into products such as bacon, sausages and traditional cuts. All of our meat is butchered on site, ensuring complete traceability, freshness and quality. From the farm to the butcher and directly to our customers.

 

Visit Our Farm

We welcome both French and English customers, and our beef can be cut to suit the preferences of both. We are always happy to talk with customers about our farming, our animals and the best ways to cook our meat.

Our aim is simple: to offer high-quality food produced on our farm and served directly from Farm to Fork.
