How do I order organic beef?

Phone David on 07736 666274 or email info@portnellanfarm.co.uk. See the price list for the cuts and prices per kilogram.

No. We do not deliver. Collection from the farm only.

Is your beef organic?

Yes. Our cattle are certified organic by the Scottish Organic Producers Association. They are Aberdeen Angus and Shorthorn cattle, born and reared on the farm on a diet of 100% organic grass. We hang the beef for a minimum of 21 days. We do not have an organically certified butcher, so packs cannot be labelled organic.

Is the beef fresh or frozen?

Frozen. A fresh cut can be prepared at the next butchery session on request.

How we raise our cattle

Our native breed Aberdeen Angus and Shorthorn cattle are born and reared on the farm. They grow slowly on a diet of 100% home grown organic grass.

In summer the cattle graze our species-rich pastures. In winter they are housed and fed silage made on the farm.

Many beef producers send their animals for beef at 18 to 24 months. We rear ours for between 26 and 30 months. They mature and grow slowly. That improves the flavour.

Why Portnellan beef tastes so good

Many of our customers tell us it is the best beef they have had. That is the best compliment we could ask for. These are the main reasons.

The animals grow slowly
They are well handled, so stress stays low
They eat only home grown organic grass

From our field to your freezer

The carcass is hung for a minimum of 21 days. That lets the flavour develop and gives the meat a rich dark red colour.

Once butchered, the beef is vacuum packed and returned to the farm. We store it at -25 °C so it stays perfectly preserved.

Our beef is frozen. If you would like a fresh cut, tell us and we can have it prepared at the next butchery session.

Organic

All our cattle are raised and certified as organic. We do not have an organically certified butcher, so we cannot label the packs as organic. We hope you understand.

We are certified organic by the Scottish Organic Producers Association.
