Shabden Park Farm produces flavoursome, tender beef, like it used to taste!

Our beef is bred from Sussex cattle, chosen by us for its traditional and superior taste. The cattle are reared on grasses, herbs and wildflowers managed under the Countryside Stewardship Scheme; free from chemical fertilisers, herbicides and fungicides.
We employ traditional, free range, extensive cattle farming methods at Shabden Park Farm. Click here to read more.

Back to Nature beef is available in variety boxes, and in a choice of cuts, from roasting joints to mince and stewing steak.
Our beef animals are hung in the traditional method for three to four weeks in monitored temperature conditions before butchering. This gives the meat a rich flavour and moist tenderness. Each cut is individually wrapped for freezing and the boxed beef is delivered free to your door (our local area).
Our system ensures traceability back to Shabden Park Farm.

Sussex breed beef animals become ready to eat between 18 and 24 months old and the meat is not seasonal, like lamb. Back to Nature beef is available all year round because we manage the animals so that they fatten at different stages of the year.
