Lincoln Red Beef
Our cattle are 100% grass-fed, pedigree Lincoln Reds, a traditional breed native to the East of England. The herd are all born and raised on the farm and free-range on our grassland for much of the year.
The beef is hung for a minimum of 3 weeks for maximum succulence, not to mention the perfect marbling of the meat which produces an excellent flavour.
The Lincoln Red herd at Darrow Green are now fed solely on grazed pastures and grass silage stored for overwinter feed - no cereals, no maize, no soya. The animals are slower to mature, but taste all the better for it!
The meat is also more nutritionally dense, compared to conventional beef fattened quickly on a grain-rich diet. In fact, evidence shows that 100% grass-fed beef contains more beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, which have an anti-inflammatory property and are typically lacking in a modern diet (read more here.)
