FAQs

By definition – organic beef in the UK is fed on a diet predominantly made up of grass. However this won't necessarily make it 100% grass fed, this is not an organic standard. Many organic farms work in a system or crop rotation to ensure the health of the soils that grow the grasses. Barley, Whole Crop, Peas and other crops can be cut, fermented with cut grass and fed to the organic beef animas during colder months when the cows move into barns.

Organic chicken and regular chicken are reared very differently, to different standards of welfare. At Coombe Farm Organic our organic chicken is Soil Association certified which is considered the highest welfare organic certification. All of our chickens are reared in an organic system that allows the birds free access to pastures where they can roam during the day before returning to the safety of the barn at night. Many intensively farmed chickens are slaughtered at five weeks old, which is why their meat has very little flavour. Coombe Farm chickens grow to twice that age, so they've had time to grow strong and mature naturally. We really do think you'll be able to tell the difference.
