EWE & MEat
About our meat
Our flock of over 300 Lleyn and Jacob ewes spend the year grazing the permanent pasture and parkland across Harefield Farms.
To get the tastiest meat and the best cuts possible, we have a selection of rams that we put to the Lleyn ewes; these include pure Lleyn, Texel, Suffolk X, and Charollais rams. We keep our Jacob flock pure-bred to get beautiful wool from their fleeces, as well as excellent hogget.
Born in the spring, our lambs are 100% grass-fed; we sell our Lleyns lambs at around 6 months, but let the Jacob lambs mature to 18 months to be sold as hogget. This extra time produces larger cuts of meat with a great depth of flavour, but still as tender as lamb! The lamb and hogget meat is hung on the bone for 10 days; both are perfect for roasting and BBQs, and become melt-in-the-mouth when slow-cooked in casseroles.
All meat is butchered professionally and locally, therefore specific requirements can be catered for. Specific cuts including neck fillet, stewing pieces and shanks are available only upon request. Please get in touch for more information.

Butchery @ Thorne Farm
New to Thorne Farm - EWE & MEat Butchery
This building was recently transformed from an old game room/larder to a modern butchery by skilled, local craftsmen. Although no longer used, we kept the original meat hooks in the beams!
Our own butchery allows us to prepare fresh pre-ordered cuts of meat to our customer's specifications, and sell our fresh-frozen lamb and pork joints, chops and sausages.
EWE & MEat butchery is located at Thorne Farm on Exmouth Road (EX8 5AG) - lookout for our sign in the lay-by as you pass!
Opening times:
Friday 3-7pm
Saturday 8am-1pm (except the 2nd Saturday of each month)
See the charts below for the cuts available and prices. Feel free to contact us to enquire about cuts in stock and to pre-order, or pop by when we're open and you may be tempted by something you don't normally try! Cash and card payments are accepted.
Porky Products
Throughout the year we introduce small numbers of British Saddleback X pigs to the farm. Outdoor bred and slow-reared, our pork is juicy and sweet. Also locally butchered, we have a great selection of cuts on offer as well as sausages, bacon, and home-cured gammon. Gluten-free sausages are also available.
