Our purpose and ethos...
Producing quality, locally!
Producing quality, nutritious, chemical free and naturally grass fed meat for people in Forres and the local area is what we do. We want to reduce food miles and the carbon emissions that go with them, and give people chance to see how their food animals are fed and cared for.
Animal welfare
There is no reason why farm animals cannot lead happy lives, with access to their proper natural foods and freedom to express their true natures. Animal welfare plays the primary role in everything we do, it is the foundation of quality and nutrition. Happy, naturally fed animals make the best food for people.
Land management
Properly managed cattle are great for the environment locally and beyond. With sensitive grazing on wild grasses they improve soil quality, plant diversity, insect and bird populations, and even help to reduce local flooding – a big issue for Forres!
Carbon storage
Well managed grasslands that are grazed with large herbivores like cattle, and not treated with agricultural chemicals, are one of the biggest carbon sinks on planet earth. By taking carbon out of the air and using it to create healthy soil, this kind of food production is crucial to solving our problem of climate change.
