Our Meat
Our livestock is naturally fed and reared on the farm, using traditional, non-intensive farming methods. Our animals mature slowly allowing the meat to achieve the highest level of taste and succulence.
Little Dernwood Farm is a traditional grassland livestock farm, situated within the heart of the Sussex Weald.
Dernwood has been in our family for 2 generations, during which time it has become well known for rearing & producing prize-winning livestock. Although the farm is not registered as organic, we are fully committed to using free-range methods of farming, with no artificial fertilisers or other products.
Our box scheme offers the opportunity to buy direct from the farm and enjoy food that is sustainably produced and totally traceable, from farm to fork.
BEEFOur beef is bred from the traditional Sussex breed of cattle. They graze on lush pastures during the summer period, and are kept in large open barns in winter. They are fed on home grown hay & silage. The meat is hung for 21 days, which intensifies the flavour & taste.
PORK
Our pork is bred from traditional breeds such as the Saddleback , crossed with the Large White. This ensures an excellent chop, succulent roasting joints and superb crackling.
LAMB & MUTTON
Our lambs are born inside during March & April, and graze out with the flock in the fields throughout the summer. They are sourced from local, neighbouring farms.
DIRECT MEAT SALES
Our meat is available to buy in boxes of varying weights and size, or some individual joints .
