Welcome to Hindwell Farm. We are a family run, traditional mixed beef, sheep, pork and arable farm situated in the rich, fertile lowland of the Radnor Valley in beautiful Mid Wales. We run a new self-service vending machine farm shop at the farm gate whereby customers can call in anytime and purchase our beautiful Welsh meat produced directly here on the farm. It has revolutionised the way we sell our meat and enables us to concentrate on rearing the highest quality stock.
The farm has been in the family for 3 generations and our 16 year old Son George, who currently studies at Reaseheath Agricultural College, is keen to extend the tradition on his return. Currently we are a husband and wife team and employ casual labour as and when required.
We produce the highest quality grass-fed Aberdeen Angus beef and grass-fed lamb using sustainable, traditional management practices which give unrivalled flavour and taste to our meat.
Our Welsh White pigs are home-bred from a closed herd and reared in a large, spacious straw barn. Fed solely on our home-grown cereals and fodder beet they produce beautiful tasting, succulent Pork, fantastic bacon and the most delicious sausages around!
High animal Welfare
Animal welfare is central to our system with a high emphasis on health, and freedom to display natural behaviour. Whole farm standards comply with red tractor farm assurance schemes, and we have a very proactive relationship with our vets to prevent health problems before they happen.
Traditional livestock husbandry dictates seasonal supply in contrast to intensive production, typical of what is found on the shelves of big retailers. Our meat availability therefore depends upon the time of year and what stock we have ready.
We post updates on our availability on the website and on our face book page and all our meat sales are sold directly on farm. We have recently started shipping our products so please ask about delivery and we will try to accommodate.
Quality & Value
The quality of our meat speaks for itself and is a world away from what you will find on the supermarket shelf, both in terms of quality and taste. Being an independent producer retailer, we have moved away from being told what our stock is worth at market to having the ability to price it ourselves – a much needed revolution in farming! This has given us the freedom to ensure we can cover our production and processing costs whilst still offering a premium product to customers at an affordable price.
Traditional, Sustainable Farming
The sustainability of our farm is driven by low input management systems. Farming methods such as rotational grazing, minimal tillage cultivation, crop rotation, and composting of organic manures are all utilised wherever possible to ensure the sustainability of the farm.
Mixed farming reduces the overall use of agrochemicals and therefore enhances environmental sustainability. This is complemented by the effective recycling of nutrients which minimises the need for artificial fertilisers. Such a sustainable soil policy results in retention of soil organic matter, promoting water conservation and minimising soil erosion.
The end result is an efficient, sustainable, bio-diverse farm bearing minimal impact on the environment. It also produces fantastic tasting quality meat.
Marketing Our Meat
In November 2018, we attended The Royal Welsh winter Fair in Built Wells where we were selected to showcase our fantastic Aberdeen Angus Beef at the Agora Start Up Farmers Market. We were proud to present the Prime Minister, Theresa May with a selection of our prime Angus steaks and in return we received a personal thank you letter from the Prime Minister herself.
Our farm also featured on BBC News night in November where we were interviewed by Katie Razzall regarding the impact of Brexit on the future of our farming business. We were honored to have our voice heard on national television and thank the BBC for giving us the opportunity.
