We were delighted to record a news reel interview about how we started out raising cattle as a hobby are now attracting top UK restaurants with our highest quality meats.
There is a fantastic testimonial from Chef Michel Roux who highlights the benefits of our farming practices and quality of our Heritage Prime produce.

A momentous and timely breakthrough for this unique farm and Bio-dynamic Farming methods !

We are both proud and delighted to announce that our beef, pork and lamb has been awarded a prestigious commendation in the Annual Observer Food Awards 2006.

The competition was fiercer than ever, and we are delighted to have been chosen by the public as runner up in the ‘Best Producer’ category, especially as we were the sole meat producer to be accredited in The Producer of the year award !

Laura Tennant Wrote:
“Heritage Prime at Shedbush Farm produces some of the best pork you'll ever eat. Its secret is biodynamic farming, which draws on the work of philosopher Rudolf Steiner and aims to care for the whole environment, working in concert with the health-giving forces of nature. 'Rebalancing' land and livestock homoeopathically, as owners Ian and Denise Bell do, might sound a bit dotty, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating. And the eating, of Aberdeen Angus, Beef Shorthorn, Tamworth pigs, Portland sheep and traditional breeds of poultry, is exceptionally good.“

" Their pork, from a farm near Lyme Regis, is so much better than any pork that you've ever tasted or could ever hope to taste. To say it's organic just tells you what isn't in it. What they add at Heritage Prime is immense care, good feed and excellent conditions". 
Nigella Lawson

“If I were a pig, I’d dream of living on Ian and Denise’s farm. They often eat better food than I do. Not only are their porkers produced in the most sustainable and humane fashion but they also taste better than any pig in the world. They represent a triumph for the bio-dynamic system of farming, showing that real care and attention brings out the finest flavour.””
Tom Parker Bowles.

 “Ian and Denise must be among the most conscientious and committed organic farmers in the country. And they have a gift for producing really wonderful meat."
