New Calf



Briddlesford Pacific's Violet 3rd calved last Tuesday. Her calf is an Aberdeen Angus cross Guernsey and will go to another farmer on the Isle of Wight to be reared for beef. The calf is pictured above.
The cows are now going out in the fields in the morning and evenings as the ground is dry enough for them to walk on. Judi, Chris and Star, one of the farm dogs, are pictured with the cows this morning.

Boxed Beef


We have started a‘Boxed Beef Scheme’. This means a 20 - 25 kg. box of grass fed, fully matured, traditionally hung, farm assured beef from Ron Holland at Kemphill Farm, Ryde, Isle of Wight. You are welcome to visit his farm to see the cattle.
You would receive cuts from across the whole animal – fillet, rump, sirloin, fore-rib, brisket, braising steak, stewing steak, topside, silverside and mince.
The price of a box will be approximately £7/kg or £150/box. Please contact Louise at the shop.

Expectant mums.



The next two cows to calve on the farm are Briddlesford Luck's Daisy 5th (Top) and Briddlesford Pacific's Violet 3rd. When the calves are born we will let you know and put some pictures here!
