Dexter Beef Box

Description

At Lodge Farm in Forestside, neighbouring the Stansted Estate, there is a herd of grass-fed Dexter cattle.  They graze year-round, with access to shelter during poor weather.  The Dexter is a hardy native breed (originally Irish) that is the smallest of the European breeds. They thrive on low-quality pastures and scrub, and are ideal for conservation grazing.  Their pastures are not sprayed with fertilizer or herbicides.

Dexter Beef is renowned for tenderness and old-fashioned, full-flavoured beef, with a limited amount of high-quality fat. The smaller size means that our butchery team will cut thicker steaks, with smaller roasting joints.  Because the Dexters are slow-growing, with it’s excellent mixed forage diet, the meat is marbled and high in CLAs, Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9.

We are ageing the beef for 3 weeks and it will be available to pick up from the 18th March.  We can deliver Dexter Beef Boxes from the 21st March.
