Profile

In 2008 we made a family resolution to give up our weekly supermarket shop and try to be a bit more self sufficient for our food.  We took on a large allotment, got ourselves some chickens and set about trying to source meat as ethically as possible. We wanted to know where our meat came from, how the animals were looked after and be satisfied that no one was being short-changed along the food chain.

As it turned out we were not the only ones here in East Anglia who were passionate about high quality, welfare-friendly meat at a fair price for the farmer and the consumer.  We had so much interest from like-minded people that we were able to organize one-off meat shares every few months.  From those beginnings, Tiny Farmer has developed and we now  regularly deliver our top quality fresh beef, lamb throughout our locality and further afield. If you want to collect your meat from us that is fine as well - we just need a little notice to make sure we are in.

For further information have a look at our website: www.tinyfarmer.co.uk

We have a regular stall selling our beef and lamb at Wimpole Hall Farmers Market (every 2nd Saturday of the month) and Ely Farmers Market (every 4th Saturday of the month) - do pop in and say hello.
