WELCOME TO LOVATON FARM
Tradtionally Reared Quality Meats

Lovaton is a family-run farm producing free-range meat from Mid-Devon's rolling pastures. All our meat is available by mail order, directly from the farm, or from selected local shops in the Okehampton area.

Pork

Our Pork is produced from the finest of traditional rare-breed pigs including the 'Gloucester Old Spot', 'Saddleback' and 'Welsh' pigs. The Gloucester Old Spot being the original orchard pig.

All our pigs are reared slowly to maturity, roaming freely in open paddocks during the spring, summer and autumn with cosy straw-bedded sheds in winter.

This stress-free rearing results in delicious, succulent and mouth-watering pork with proper 'crackling'. The meat is available as joints, chops, bacon, gammon hams, sausages and burgers. We also supply half-pig orders.

Beef

Our home-bred Dexter and Dexter cross Devon cattle graze all spring, summer and autumn on land under 'Countryside Stewardship', a scheme to promote wildlife friendly farming. In the winter the cattle are supplemented with home-grown feeds allowing them to be reared in a stress-free traditional manner.

The Dexter is the smallest of the native British breeds with a wonderfully distinctive texture and flavour. We cross this with the Devon Ruby Red breed which produces the same rich Dexter taste and has subsequently won us awards in 2006 and 2007 at the annual 'Taste of the West' competition.

All the beef is hung for three to four weeks to enhance the flavour and tenderness. All the beef is easy to cook, ideal for modern busy families and is available in all types of joints, cuts of steak as well as lean mince, burgers and sausages.

Lamb, Hogget and Mutton

Our Lamb is sourced from our native breeds which are lambed outside in the spring sunshine. Reared on clover rich pasture, the meat is tender and full of flavour.

In addition to Lamb, we also supply both Hogget and Mutton to order, this meat has even more flavour and is very much a traditional meat of choice which is making a welcome comeback.

The Lamb, Hogget and Mutton are all available as joints, chops, mince and stewing. We also supply half or whole lamb.
