<strong>Food</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Thought</strong>


Let me welcome you to the 2008<br />

Farmer’s Directory<br />

The River and Countryside Group is a collection<br />

of Farmers, Gamekeepers, Estate Managers and<br />

Angling Clubs. With the support of Wear Valley<br />

District Council and Stanhope Market Towns<br />

Programme, who endorse local food and the<br />

initiative of cutting down food miles, we would<br />

like to share with you the opportunity to access<br />

the wonderful local food produce which our<br />

members take great care and pride in producing.<br />

Our Farmers are passionate about rearing and<br />

producing quality local foods at good value which<br />

can be brought to you direct from family run<br />

farms here in the heart of the beautiful dales.<br />

Have you ever gone to the supermarket and wondered what breed your joint of meat has<br />

come from? Now with the use of our directory you can identify exactly what you are<br />

eating, how and where it is environmentally produced, even down to traditional rearing<br />

methods and natural feeding.<br />

We hope you will enjoy looking through our directory and will find it a useful tool, giving<br />

greater choice.<br />

Thank you <strong>for</strong> your support.<br />

Lambs at Drygill are born and reared naturally in upland meadows and pastured amongst a host of wild<br />

plants which <strong>for</strong>m their diet.They are naturally produced using traditional farming techniques.This farming<br />

system produces lamb which is succulent, sweet and full of flavour. Finished lambs travel less than 2 miles to<br />

a local abattoir <strong>for</strong> slaughter.They are then hung, expertly butchered and packed <strong>for</strong> delivery.What is lamb,<br />

hogget and mutton? Lamb is less than one year old and has a mild flavour. It requires short cooking times.<br />

Hogget is slightly older, from one to two years old. It has a more intense flavour. It requires a bit longer to<br />

cook and is more suited to roasting, stewing and braising (also very good in a curry!)

Pork. We are always looking <strong>for</strong> new ways to improve things <strong>for</strong> the herd and will continue to do so. This<br />

ensures that our Pork is top of the range and happy pigs too.

At Wadley Farm we produce a wide range of products including mutton and lamb.We provide all animals<br />

with the care and attention they deserve, allowing them to live the most natural life possible. Mutton is a very<br />

particular favourite as our animals are more mature, massively improving the flavour.The lambs we produce<br />

are bred from rare and minority breeds as well as commercial sheep.The rare breeds are well known <strong>for</strong><br />

their improved flavour which is derived from the slow maturity of the meat.
