Description
Organic and PFLA certified – this Hogget is farmed on the iconic Wye Valley. The flock are rotated on species rich pastures, nourishing the soil and producing healthy food.
Our Half a Hogget is a delicious and tender sheep meat which is available from the time a lamb reaches approximately a year and it grows it’s first set of adult teeth and ends when it becomes mutton at two years old (or when it becomes shearling in some parts of the Country.)
We love hogget because it still has the delicate tenderness of lamb yet it has gained the flavoursome notes of mutton without being too strong. It’s at that perfect point in the middle. We only sell hogget in half animals as there is limited availability.
The half a hogget is dry aged in the fridge for 1 week to enhance the texture and flavour. The half a hogget box will weigh between 6-8kg and take up a drawer in an average sized freezer. Due to the fact that hoggets are grazed solely on grass, not fattened on grains, there are times when they may weigh in small. In these cases we will refund you according to the weight you receive.

About Primal Meats
We aim to offer you nutrient dense meat from Farms who rear their animals to very high standards of welfare and manage their land in harmony with nature.
Our meats are perfect for those following diets based on ancestral wisdom as they are as close as possible to meats from the wild.
The beef, lamb, mutton and hogget are 100% grass fed and carry the “Pasture for life” logo, providing reassurance of nutrient quality and traceability amongst a world of misleading “grass fed meat” products. We offer certified organic or free-range chicken and our pork is organic raised (but not certified) and free to roam. Our wild game comes from estates across Scotland, the North of England and the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire.
Caroline is a ‘Certified Primal Blueprint Expert’ and we generally advocate an ancestral health approach to diet and wellness. However, we can’t personally offer professional advice directly. All comments regarding health are based on a picture built up over years of researching scientific literature and working with leading experts in the field of nutrition. As a reference for these comments, we have compiled a pinterest board with a range of research and informative articles.
