Penrhiw Organic Farm
Penrhiw Farm Organic Meat, nestled in the picturesque valleys of South Wales, is a family-run enterprise dedicated to producing high-quality organic meat and homemade products. Established in 1999 by John and Celia, the farm has been committed to sustainable farming practices, ensuring that all livestock is reared to full organic standards. The farm boasts a herd of Aberdeen Angus cows and a flock of South Wales Mountain ewes, both breeds well-suited to the organic, grass-fed system employed at Penrhiw .
The farm's product range includes beef, lamb, pork, mutton, chicken, free-range eggs, and homemade items such as faggots, sausages, and burgers. The Aberdeen Angus and Welsh Black cows graze on clover-rich pastures during the summer and are fed home-grown hay and silage in the winter, producing tender and flavorful beef cuts . Similarly, the South Wales Mountain ewes are known for their resilience and excellent mothering abilities, yielding succulent lamb that is a staple in Welsh cuisine .
Penrhiw Farm's commitment to quality extends to its pork and chicken products. The pigs are reared at Cefn Coed, living outdoors and foraging naturally, while the chickens are raised under heat lamps until they are a month old, after which they are allowed to graze freely, supplemented with a home-grown mix of wheat, peas, and barley .
Customers can purchase Penrhiw Farm's products directly from the farm or at various farmers markets, including locations in Cardiff and Usk . The farm's dedication to organic farming and sustainable practices ensures that every product is of the highest quality, supporting both local agriculture and the environment.
