Our Story
Where it all began
Beacon Farms was founded by siblings William, Charlotte and James. There are two sides to our families history, with one in farming and the other in butchery.
Growing up we would often be found helping out on our grandparents' farm. We saw first hand the challenges faced by the British farmer, as the majority of supermarkets put pressure on the price of farm produce, prioritising volume and low prices over quality.
As supermarkets have grown and taken over the cities, towns and villages of the United Kingdon, the priority of supermarket value over quality has shaped our countryside drastically. Farmers have been forced to intensify their production, just to make ends meet. But there is another way...
In 1988 our father started his own award-winning traditional butchers shop, offering a marketplace for local farmers to sell their outstanding produce at a fair price, to people who value their food and where it comes from as well as the dedication, effort and level of care that goes into making it.
In 2021, the opportunity came up to rent a small farm of our own. We decided if we were to do this, we would do it in the right way. Working with nature, following traditional methods with a sustainable focus, we set out to produce quality British produce that we could then sell within our local shops.
The feedback was amazing, there was still a marketplace that valued and supported sustainable British farming. People loved the produce, how it had been meticulously grown, not just to benefit the environment, but the resulting impact of slow grown, grass fed produce also happens to be a level of quality you would expect of exclusive restaurants.
Having this small local marketplace to sell our produce was great, but we couldn't help but wonder why is this only reserved for people who were fortunate enough to live near our shops?
After 4 years of farming on our own, we decided to partner with a hand selected network of like minded producers to create a marketplace where anyone across the nation can access quality, sustainable produce.
Beacon Farms consists of a group of outstanding farmers and craftsmen who passionately dedicate themselves to producing food the right way. They work tirelessly to create the very best produce that is not only good for the planet, but also good for you.
