A farming couple from Tremain, near Cardigan, have launched a new business selling meatboxes both locally and nationally.
Craig and Gillian Rimmer, who have been tenant farmers on a council farm for the past 12 years, have established Maesllyn Meatboxes to provide ethically reared meat.
“Our beef is home produced from our own suckler herd,” Craig told the Tivyside.
“We also buy in some young calves from two high-health dairy farms from approximately two weeks of age and raise them up to the finishing stage which helps with some extra funding.
“All our cattle are grass-fed, low maintenance, stress-free, sustainable stock.
“We believe that if customers buy our meat they will be able to follow our story through our website and gain a better understanding on the way we farm.
“In addition we rear pork and lamb, which will also be available, to buy plus poultry which we get supplied from a local business.
“We are proud to keep our carbon footprint low - our abattoir and butcher are both within 45 minutes of the farm.
“The meat you receive is fully traceable from farm to fork, and unlike cheaper imported meat, contains no antibiotics, growth hormones or added water.”
Maesllyn Meatboxes deliver by courier to most of the UK. See https://maesllynmeatboxes.co.uk/aboutus/ for further info.
