Our Beef

Our family has been raising Tasty & Tender beef for well over 100 years with the same hard work and care throughout the generations.

A lot has changed over the past century, but the importance of delicious and natural food is as important as ever. You could say our cattle are farmed the old-fashioned way: raised with love on our small family farm. From calving to butchering, we oversee the entire process of our animals to ensure the quality that we are proud of. We feed our herd a mixture of grain and pasture grass, yielding the perfect balance of flavour and texture. The animals are given the time and space they need to grow, naturally.

Whelpton beef is simply better than what you’ll find in the supermarket. Try any of our products to appreciate the difference!
