As our cow & calf micro-dairy is still in the startup stage there's not actually a fork bit yet! What I can say is that all our cows will get to keep their calves and we will hopefully be selling our milk raw. To be notified once we're in production this summer (cow willing) click here to let us know and we'll keep you posted.

All our 100% free range pork comes from pigs that have been born and bred on farm as part of our Cligga Cliff herd of registered rare-breed Large Cornish Blacks. Once ready to go they are collected and transported to Trevarthens abbatoir in Penryn where they are responsibly despatched and butchered, ready for us to collect. 

We buy in our Devon Bronze turkeys as day old chicks in July from a local breeder and raise them entirely off-grid without the use of artificial heat lamps (they get to cosy up next to fluffy hot water bottles instead). Once they're feathers are in at around 5 weeks they move from their small heated hutches to a sheltered starter pen to harden them up for clifftop living. Then, at around 8 weeks they are moved to their free-range pen up the top where they live out their days quite happily. A couple of weeks before Christmas they are humanely despatched and table dressed, ready for the big day itself.

Our flock of laying hens is comprised of rescue chickens from within Cornwall. They are often in good condition when they reach us to be honest and are from larger free-range farms - we just save them from getting the chop at 18 months as is routine in the larger commercial operations (far too early if you ask us)! At present we have a mixed flock of around 50 hens.
