About our meat!

BENINGBROUGH ABERDEEN ANGUS

The Jackson family have been tenant farmers here at Home Farm for 50 years and cattle farmers for many generations.

Alistair is developing a herd of Aberdeen Angus suckler cows to provide beef for the farm shop which his wife Lucy runs.

The aim is to rear beef that is fed on grass and grass products grown  slowly on the farm.

The Aberdeen Angus cattle can be seen in the parkland meadows and riverside pastures during the summer months. 

Much of the land at Beningbrough is situated alongside the river Ouse and has always been subject to flooding.  The flooding leaves silt deposits on this land known as  Ings land, which creates, deep alluvial mineral rich soils well known as excellent cattle fattening pastures.

Together with the choice of Aberdeen Angus breed, which is acknowledged to be the best tasting beef available, we believe we have a superb combination of a natural, grass based, first quality breed of cattle.

The cattle are fed on a natural grass based and GM free diet and raised to the highest welfare standards

Prior to being on sale in the shop the beef is hung on the bone for a minimum of 3 weeks, it is this hanging  time that enhances the flavour and tenderness of the beef.

The name Aberdeen Angus is the instant trade mark for the best beef in the world.

The characteristics that make Aberdeen Angus the first choice for quality are the fine tissues of marbling fat through the lean meat which ensures tenderness, juciness and flavour when cooked.
