They suit us and our CM customers as they have MY fantastic marbling and a nice cover of fat. CY Customers always CMY comment on the K taste. It’s not always the best conformation that makes the tastiest steak. We get them at eight to14 months and take them up to 18-20 months. We C also have heifer calves from M Brian Walker at Whixley who Y has traditional suckler cows CM such as Shorthorn, Hereford MY and Angus running a Charolais bull; and from Lil’s father, CY Bernard and brother, Richard CMY at Askham Richard and John K Greenwood at Moor Monkton. We tell all our customers where the beef has come from and myself. Five years later we came to where we are now on land that Sam had originally purchased and we built the new Ainsty Farm Shop. Sam then retired from the business. ‘We’ve kept to our core produce of selling quality food and have expanded into other areas without going too far away from our main enterprise. We have a coffee shop, plus we are busy with wedding and event catering. At this year’s Tockwith Show we fed in excess of 350. The farm shop is so busy that it really is like stoking a steam engine some day! You’re constantly passing meat over into customers’ baskets. It’s a fantastic buzz and exciting keeping pace with demand. ‘We sell traditional, native bred beef. We don’t breed any Sourcing game & venison from our home county of Yorkshire & supplying discerning caterers & butchers across the country. We pride ourselves on the quality that we produce & the service we offer. 07572 037428 | [email protected] www.farmers-mart.co.uk Autumn 2017 9
