General FAQ’s

While our meats are not certified organic, we prioritise ethical farming practices that prioritise the well-being of both animals and the environment. Our farmers are committed to upholding high welfare standards and employing sustainable methods throughout the production process. By doing so, we ensure that our customers receive the highest quality meats while also supporting responsible agricultural practices.

Our meat stands out due to its unique sourcing process and dedicated craftsmanship. Sourced locally from trusted farmers in Wiltshire and the South West, we prioritise free-range, naturally-reared animals. Additionally, our special dry-ageing techniques further enhance the flavour and tenderness of our meats, resulting in an unparalleled dining experience for our customers.

Our beef undergoes a meticulous dry-ageing process, meticulously managed in a controlled environment to ensure optimal conditions. Through this process, natural enzymes work to break down muscle fibres, resulting in enhanced tenderness and intensified flavour profiles. This careful ageing method is a testament to our commitment to delivering the highest quality beef to our customers, ensuring a truly exceptional dining experience with every bite.

We employ a traditional smoking method to perfect our bacon and ham. First, we carefully select premium cuts of meat, ensuring the highest quality. Then, the meat undergoes a meticulous brining process, where it’s infused with a blend of carefully selected spices and seasonings to enhance its flavour. Following this, the meat is skilfully smoked using a combination of hardwoods, such as hickory or applewood, in our custom smokehouses. This slow smoking process allows the rich, smoky flavour to penetrate the meat, resulting in bacon and ham with a depth of flavour that sets it apart. The end result is a product that embodies our commitment to quality and tradition, delivering a truly exceptional taste experience to our customers.

Absolutely. Ethical sourcing lies at the heart of our values here at The Black Farmer. We are committed to upholding high welfare standards and implementing sustainable practices. By prioritising these principles, we ensure that every cut of meat we offer is not only of the highest quality but also reflects our dedication to ethical and responsible sourcing.
