Best Practice

We have decided to draw a line in the sand.

We have for too long sold products that don't live up to our own ethical stand on food and its provenance. At home, we eat only organic and free-range animal produce; meat, eggs, milk etc. (see Angel Cottage and Ivy House).

We are therefore withdrawing products which show no inclination to profess any good husbandry and replacing them, where possible, with local and humane alternatives (e.g. see Capreolus).

There are arguments that organic and free-range offer no better quality or health benefits than high intensity farmed products. We disagree, but nevertheless, the higher ground must belong to those with the best animal husbandry.
