We at Yew Tree Farm became aware that our quality meat was disappearing in the mass food chain alongside meat of varying and dubious origin and quality. We decided to offer consumers a choice, here is our pledge.

• Our animals are reared extensively on mixed grassland or heather fell that is the natural environment for the animal.
• Our animals are treated humanely from birth to slaughter.
• Our animals are not routinely given antibiotics and are never given growth promoters.
• Our animals are reared on land managed in an environmentally sensitive way, protecting habitats and landscape features.
• We personally undertake or oversee the selection, transportation, butchery and packaging of all our meat, most of this process happens on the Farm.
• Our meat is consistently of the highest quality.
• Our meat is hung appropriately to ensure the best possible flavour, texture and freezing capability.
• Our meat is packaged to ensure freshness without the use of preservatives. 
• We ensure maximum possible trace ability.

We are happy to talk about and explain any aspect of our farming and meat production methods.

Your part of the bargain

• Celebrate your meat product by creating delicious meals.
• Do the animal justice by using up every bit of meat.
• Please always buy your meat direct from reputable farmers and butchers. By being an apathetic shopping trolley driver you may be unconsciously supporting intensive and unethical farming practices and poor quality meat.

Enjoy it.
