Our Story

Our story starts on our farm. Gowbarrow Hall Farm sits in breathtakingly beautiful landscape and has been in the family for nearly 50 years. The passion for maintaining the natural beauty of our surroundings and enriching the wildlife that falls within it is the driver behind every decision we make. We are Pasture for Life and Organic certified. We manage our cattle using regenerative methods, and their presence on the land is helping to restore our habitats and improve our precious ecosystem. Creating a sustainable future for hides from our beef cattle is the next step in our regenerative farming journey.
