Our Meat - How Do Prices Compare?

Over the past few weeks there has been much talk about the length of meat supply chains, the traceability and transparency of the meat that we buy and eat.

At Farm Direct you know exactly where your meat is coming from. We only work with small scale, local farms, so we can track our cows, lambs and pigs to the field.

This means no horse related mix ups, only 100% English, free range meat from trusted local producers.

We also collect direct from the farm, meaning we able to provide excellent value as well as provenance. See how we compare to other popular butchers:*
