LONGHORN MEAT BOXES

We are really pleased to be able to offer our delicious longhorn beef for sale. 

We welcomed longhorn cattle onto the farm in 2021 and have not looked back. From one cow with calf afoot and two heifers we now have a herd of 15 and rising.

We chose the longhorn breed because they are native to the U.K and fantastic for conservation grazing.

They browse in a particular way which helps keep the nettles, saplings and other plants at bay while allowing the heather to flourish.

Our herd are outdoor all year around either grazing on the heath or in the historic parkland. They benefit from a huge range of different plant species which keeps them healthy and makes the meat particularly good for you, packed with omega 3. It is also very tasty.

The boxes have a selection of different cuts. Including Sirloin steak, rump steak, mince, stewing steak, shin, braising steak, brisket, small and larger roasting joints, short rib and thick rib.

The beef will come frozen and is available in sizes to suit your freezer. 

The large boxes are roughly 12kg's and small boxes are around 8kg's.

HEATHLAND HONEY

We have three bee hives on the heath. Protected from the wind by the trees and surrounded by acres of heather the bees are in the perfect spot.

​

We only take honey when the bees have had a good year so they have enough food stores to get them through the winter.

​

 

​

We also have many other species of bees and bumble bees which have made the heath land their home.

For the solitary and miner bees we have created some bee beaches within the heather.

2025 was a great year and we produced 80 jars of delicious honey

JAMS AND CHUTNEYS

All made from produce grown and foraged on the farm and from our veg patch.

Every year we look forward to watching our fruit and vegetables grow. Since moving into our house 12 years ago we have transformed the walled garden from a bare 2 acre area of grass into a productive vegetable patch and orchard.

When Ian's Great Grandfather lived at Rudge Hall from 1929 there would have been a number of gardeners and other skilled workers tending to the garden and walled garden. We have a few pictures of what it looked like with espaliered fruit around the walls, a peach house at one end, greenhouse and row upon row of vegetables.

Today we have planted up a fraction of the original space but it yields plenty for us to eat and preserve in jams and chutneys.

WALNUTS AND SWEET CHESTNUTS

Our walnuts grow in the historic parkland around the house. We begin to pick green walnuts in July, then the rest of the harvest continues from mid October. 

WALNUTS

We collect the fallen walnuts from October, wash any remaining the husks off and spread them out in racks to dry.

​

GREEN WALNUTS

​The fresh green walnuts are available during a short seasonal window from July 1st 2026 until July 31st 2026. 

The pickled green walnuts are made from the unripe fruit and must be prepared before the shell has formed. In some English circles they are known as the King of Pickles. Pickled walnuts are excellent with all cold meats and cheeses. Please order early to avoid any disappointment.

A standard order of 1kg on average is about 25-30 nuts.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​

SWEET CHESTNUTS

Our sweet chestnuts grow in the historic parkland and the surrounding farmland. We wait until October when the spiky green husks have fallen on the ground. We have to be quick though as we have competition from the squirrels.

Walnuts £15 per kg

Greet walnuts £15 per kg

Wet walnuts per kg

Sweet chestnuts per kg

WET WALNUTS

The fresh wet walnuts will be available during a short seasonal window from Early October until Mid November. These are full of moisture and have a lovely distinct flavour, perfect for any connoisseur of nuts. They are excellent sprinkled over salads, with stir fries, or simply with wine and cheese. Please order in advance to avoid any disappointment.
