Here you can shop online for Quality Home Produced Longhorn Beef and Lamb from our Rare Breed Ewes. Our farm, at Tetford in the Heart of the Lincolnshire Wolds lies on the Greenwich Meridian Line and whilst not registered Organic, all our animals are totally naturally reared producing safe, healthy, traceable meats from British Breeds with a quality and flavour rarely available these days. To achieve the very best flavour, tenderness and succulence all our beef carcasses are hung for a minimum of three weeks. For lamb, the hanging time is at least a week.

Many top chefs and restauranteurs have come to recognise the qualities of longhorn beef. In his article 'In search of the perfect steak' published in the Sunday Times on 12th November 2006 Heston Blumenthal endorses Britain's oldest beef breed with these words: "The longhorn has it all for me - the nutty, grassy, blue cheese note that I found in the steaks I ate in New York, plus a marvellous moisture and juiciness, alongside a firm but giving texture" Click here to read the full article.

Meridian Meats Longhorn Beef & Colman's Sausages and Longhorn Beef, Thyme & Wholegrain Mustard Sausages both won Gold Awards in the 2006 Great Taste Awards. Every entry underwent the most rigorous examination, blind tasted by teams of experts judging solely on texture, mouthfeel and taste. Since it was the first time we have entered we are extremely proud that the team of judges verified the excellence of our products. Their Chairman, Richard Johnson, presenter of BBC2's Full on Food, sums up the significance of the Awards: "In little more than a decade, the Great Taste Awards has become the definitive standard for speciality food and drink in the UK. Unlike a dish in Sainsbury's Taste the Difference range or Tesco's Finest range, a gold from the Great Taste Awards actually means something. It has been hard-won and independently verified. It is as close to a guarantee of real quality as you'll find."

 

As well as our two Gold Awards two Silver Awards went to our Longhorn Beef Provencal Sausages and our Longhorn Beef & Sweet Chilli Sausages, whilst Longhorn Beef, Port & Red Onion Sausages and our Gloucester Old Spot Pork Pear and Quenby Stilton Sausages received Bronze Awards.
