Field To Fork
From field to fork, our short supply chain guarantees traceability at every stage of the production process. Our set-up at Coombe Farm Organic is unique – our dedicated farmers rear the animals, then send them to a local abattoirs. We then butcher the meat fresh to order in our organic butchery before packing your orders for delivery.
How do we get your food from field to fork?

The Farmers
Our farmers are the beating heart of the business. Farming is a profession that requires total dedication, with unsociable hours and hard, physical work. Despite this, there is true joy to be found in working outside, taking care of incredible creatures and protecting the countryside. As well as rearing beef cattle, pigs, geese, chickens and lambs for our meatbox business, there is a dairy herd to care for and immeasurable jobs to do out in the fields. Our agricultural activity supports the rearing of meat, so crops are grown to feed the livestock, as well as providing crucial cover for soil health and wildlife populations.
Meet
The Butchers
Our butchery team may be small, but it is mighty. Butchery is an ancient skill and one to which most of us probably give little thought. It requires detailed knowledge of the anatomy of each animal, as well as an understanding of how all of the muscles and bones join and work. Working in a butchery every day is very physically demanding and calls for tremendous stamina, deft knife skills and precise attention to detail. Add to that the fact that there are many, many different ways to cut up each kind of carcass and you might start to get the idea that butchery calls for brains as well as brawn.
Meet
The Warehouse
Making sure your order of organic meat arrives to you in tip-top condition is our warehouse team. First, they carefully pick the products before selecting which size box is needed for the order. They then layer in our special insulation material and add the items and ice packs to ensure your items arrive to you cool and fresh. A quality control check is conducted before each box before its sealed, and goes back into the fridge until DPD arrive to collect them.
