As you know, the beef from Beacon Farms comes from our small, rented farm run by founders James and Will. What you may not know—and one of the secrets behind our exceptional beef—is our breed selection. We exclusively raise heritage breed animals, particularly the Ruby Red Devon cattle, which are native to the very region where we farm. These cattle have thrived in the rich pastures of the rolling Devon hills for centuries. They are perfectly suited to a slow, natural way of life, flourishing on their natural diet. This is in stark contrast to supermarkets, which typically favor faster-growing continental breeds that achieve weight quickly with the help of supplements. Our beef matures slowly and naturally, and it’s this careful, traditional approach that makes it so special.
