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.
