Earl Stonham Farms - Taking Care of Our Countryside

I love the idea behind Earl Stonham Farms ethos. Not only are they dedicated to producing top quality meat produce, but they also feel that taking care of the countryside is a top priority too.

The farm is situated on 300 kilometers of rolling countryside in Suffolk and is home to the largest full blood heard of Wagyu cattle in England.


Earl Stonham Farm believes that content cattle produce the best beef. I definitely agree with them. In the summer months the cattle are free to roam outdoors and when it gets cold they are bought indoors and housed in straw yards. The farm aims to meet the same standard as Japanese Kobe beef. However, they do not believe alcohol is appropriate to give to an animal. This farm takes a lot of pride in their live stock and as a result produces meat to an exceptionally high standard.

The farm also takes a lot of time to maintain the beautiful Suffolk countryside. The farm has planted over 600 trees and 2 kilometers of hedgerows. This helps supplement the clover-rich pastures for the animals.

Overall, I think Earl Stonham Farm is a farm to be proud of. It's nice to know that the animal's welfare really is at the heart of this farm and consequently produces wonderfully marbled beef.
