Cotswold Beef: What is it?

Cotswold Beef is an award winning, conservation-led, family-run farm that produces top quality organic, certified Pasture for Life beef from their pedigree Hereford suckler herd. Roaming together across a 700 acre farm in the beautiful rolling hills of the Cotswolds, these cattle are mob-grazed (see details below) on glorious wild flower meadows, herbal leys and permanent pasture. 

The resulting beef is nutrient dense and full of flavour and brilliantly tender, in part thanks to a 28-day dry-ageing process. 

Their beef is “the way it should be”, and it shows in the quality of their products: a delectable range of beef boxes, including a  ‘Taster Beef Box’ and ‘Organic Beef Bone Broth Box’. All are sold directly from the farm and conveniently delivered to your doorstep. Customers are also able to make up bespoke boxes. 

Cotswold Beef promotes nose-to-tail eating, meaning that no usable part of the cow goes to waste. 

They say: “No order is too small or too big. We take pride in looking after the individual needs of each customer.”

Cotswold: How sustainable is it?

Reared to enjoy a natural lifestyle, Cotswold Beef cattle live as family groups. The calves are born on the farm and remain together with the cows, allowing them to wean naturally after approximately nine months. The herd lives outside all year round and are fed a diet of 100% organic grass fresh pastures, herbs, legumes and wildflowers, only supplemented with the farm’s home grown organic hay and haylage in winter. 

With their core mission of sustainability, improving soils and reducing carbon through their farming practices, Cotswold Beef farm works consciously and considerately in harmony with its wildlife and the environment. 

An example of their environmentally friendly, regenerative agriculture approach is their use of mob grazing – where they rotate the cattle around the farmland to improve the soils and increase the diversity of wildlife. 

This method also benefits the growth of their organic arable crops – such as the malting barley they produce for the beer industry.

They say: “We believe that farming should be a two-way conversation with nature. Our aim is to leave the land in a better state than we found it to ensure many generations after us are able to enjoy the land and wildlife.”

Cotswold: Where can I buy it?

Cotswold Beef is available for nationwide delivery.

Their meat is packaged in recyclable cardboard boxes with an insulation of sheep’s wool and food grade plastic. Ice sheets are enclosed to keep the meat at the correct temperature during transport and both fresh and frozen orders can be posted. The liners can be sent back to Cotswold Beef for recycling and the cardboard can be recycled with household recycling. Or, you could even reuse these boxes as cool boxes!
