Welcome to Heritage Meats, Yew Tree Farm

Welcome to Heritage Meats, Yew Tree Farm

Heritage Meats is based at Yew Tree farm near Coniston in the Lake District, once owned by Beatrix Potter.

Our animals are reared on the stunning Lakeland fells in a natural and unhurried way. The mixed grass and herb diet, long hanging times and expert butchery creates meat of outstanding flavour and texture.

We are always happy to speak to you in person if you prefer and can offer advice on anything from cut selection to cooking suggestions, just ask.

We specialise in producing ‘old fashioned’ meat using traditional breeds of animals. We rear Herdwick lamb, hogget, mutton and belted Galloway beef.

Please enter your e-mail into our newsletter list and we will add you to our next Herdwick lamb, Hogget, Mutton and Belted Galloway Beef prize draw.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall says
‘Caroline and Jon Watson exemplify everything that’s right about a new generation of conscientious and professional small scale meat producer, everything from their delicious carefully presented meat to the impressive packaging smacks of attention to detail and quality. Their Herdwick Hogget is among the finest I have tasted’
