Welcome to Argae Cottage
Traditional Free Range Christmas Turkeys, Grass Fed Beef, Lamb and Pork.
Catriona and Jonathan would like to welcome you to Argae Cottage - our family farm, situated on the banks of the River Severn, near Llandrinio.
Animal Welfare
The welfare of our animals is our top priority.
We farm on a small scale, allowing us to give attention to the needs of each individual animal.
​
Our native breeds have been carefully chosen to suit our traditional farming methods. Our animals enjoy a free range lifestyle, and are allowed to grow slowly, at a natural rate.
​
Grass Fed
Our cows and lambs are entirely grass reared for the whole of their lives, grazing permanent pasture on a rotational grazing system. In winter they eat home grown silage.
​
Grass fed meat has been shown to have health benefits, with a higher level of beneficial omega 3 fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants.
​
Environment
We strive to farm in harmony with nature.
​
Our grazing animals have a significantly lower environmental impact than animals fed on cereals.
Well managed grassland actually captures and stores carbon.
.
Read more about the environmental benefits of grazing, on the soil association website.
​
Our rotational grazing system produces long grass, with abundant clover - in Summer, this is teeming with bees and other insects.
​
We are steadily planting more hedges around our fields, and allowing the existing hedgerows to grow taller and wider, leaving space for wildlife to thrive.
​
A large proportion of our electricity is provided by our wind turbine.
Taste
All of this results in delicious, tender meat, with the good old-fashioned flavour so often lost in today's intensively produced meat.
It's wonderful to see this recognised, with a collection of Great Taste Awards - for our free range turkeys, Welsh lamb, and Shetland beef.
