But if I’m buying it straight from you, shouldn’t it be cheaper?

It’s a good question, and sometimes the answer is yes! But not always.

Selling directly does mean there are fewer links in the chain, but it doesn’t make all the links disappear. In many cases, we are now doing those jobs ourselves.

We also make choices that aren’t necessarily the cheapest ones. We choose different varieties of vegetables because we think they taste better. We do an enormous amount by hand, rather than with big machinery. We take our time with our livestock and hang our meat properly.

Our aim has never been to produce the cheapest food possible.

It’s to produce really good, nutritious food, from our farm, in a way we are proud of, and sell it directly to the people who are doing to eat it.

Sometimes that will save you money. Sometimes it won’t.

Either way, you know where your food has come from and you can always ask us how it was produced.

Most people never see the years of work behind producing our beef.

Your steak's journey starts in a field, long before it reaches the shop. Here are three stages most people never see.

Pasture fed for a richer flavour. Our cattle graze outside in the fresh East Neuk air. A diverse pasture of grasses, clover and herbs creates heathy animals and shapes the flavour of the meat.

One day of grain changes it. Feed an animal grain for a single day and the omega-3 benefits of grass-fed meat are changed. Pasture for Life assurance means audited, 100% grass-fed.

Three weeks on the bone. Good beef is dry-aged on the bone for a minimum of twenty one days before butchering. Moisture leaves, flavour concentrates and the meat becomes more tender.

The best meal starts long before the kitchen. Our field-to-fork journey starts on our farm in the East Neuk of Fife and finishes in your kitchen.

Claire and Nikki were delighted to be invited to speak to the Cabinet Secretary for Climate Action and Rural Affairs, Gillian Martin by the Scottish Agritourism board at St.Andrews House.

It was a fantastic opportunity for us and other farmers at the meeting to speak directly to government about issues facing our agritourism businesses. We covered planning, abattoirs, employment and much more. All our concerns were acknowledged and discussed at length with real world examples helping to make our points.

Having an official body representing us, Scottish Agritourism, makes such a big difference in an industry that is growing and learning quickly. We hugely appreciate all the work Caroline, her team and board at Scottish Agritourism do for us.

Officially Pasture for Life certified, and we have been for years!

What does this mean? It means that all of beef, lamb and mutton is 100% grass-fed. Our animals graze outside in the fresh air eating pasture that ruminants are meant to eat. Our animals aren’t grass-fed for some of their lives, (check out the small print on the next grass-fed beef you buy in the supermarket) our animals are grass-fed for their entire lives.

Standing on the other side of the counter to our customers, rather than them being a distant end of supply chain, has made us question everything we do on the farm. We want to produce the healthiest food possible while nurturing our farm, the animals, birds and insects that also live here.

Pasture for Life audit us yearly and our entire farm is geared around our grass-fed animals. We follow Nature Friendly Farming principles and believe that having healthy animals that thrive outside in Scotland is important for the soil and the sustainability of our family farm.

We also believe, as meat eaters, we have a duty to use every single part of the animal. We sell the meat direct through our farm shop (and can courier throughout the UK), we roast the bones and make bone broth, we use slower selling cuts for dog food and we use the tallow to create our skincare and candle range. We’re also embarking on a new venture to make leather with British Pasture Leather.

Have you shopped with us before?

What keeps you motivated when there’s always another job to do?

For Fiona and Claire at Ardross Farm , it’s hearing from their customers, seeing the farm continue to develop and building on the vision of their husband and dad, who sadly passed away eight years ago.

From customers telling them how much they enjoy the beef and vegetables, to sharing ideas in the farm shop and seeing the work he started with the cattle genetics coming to fruition, those moments give them the motivation to keep moving forward.

In our latest Farmstrong video, the Po***ck family share more about life at Ardross Farm, what keeps them going and the things that help them look after their wellbeing.
