Trecorras Farm Beef Rib on the Bone – 100% Grass Fed

About the farm:

On the edge of the Wye Valley in Herefordshire you will find Trecorras Farm, 270 acres of bee friendly, wildlife rich farmland. Some of the farm is under permanent pasture while the rest grows arable crops and herbal leys (for grazing) in a 7 years rotation.

The stars of Trecorras farm are their beautiful Red Poll Cattle. This rare breed is grown here on a 100% forage fed diet, from the meadows, herbal leys, trees and hedgerows of the farm.

In 2012, after a flood lifted and deposited potatoes in the centre of their local village, farm owners John and Julie Joseph decided to work with nature and adopted a no-till (no ploughing) approach to their arable land. Their cattle are housed in winter and their manure is composted to fertilise the arable land. This, and the cattle used in rotation with crops, means that the land is naturally fertile.

“It’s all done by nutrition rather than any chemicals.”

The soil, never ploughed and well mulched, is teaming with life. This ‘small life’ in the soil is the base of the food chain and so the farm buzzes with insects and rings with bird song.

The farm and soils are teeming with life and evidence their effective approach to farming – the farm however is not organic certified, with some herbicides still used on arable land to comply with seed production requirements. John and Julie would ideally like to be able to sustain their business through beef sales and therefore transition to an organic system with permanent pasture in the long term. We hope to support them in making this full transition through our Primal Stakes Club.

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 free range, pasture reared (not just outdoor bred) and sourced from the highest quality farms we can find. Our wild game comes from estates across Scotland, the North of England and the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire.
