Info: Vicarage Farm sits high on the hills
above Helston, where streams gather to run down to Cober
and Loe Pool. Here Kim and Gill Courtauld produce meat
and poultry to their own, very high standards.
They have stocked
Vicarage Farm well: for prime beef, Aberdeen Angus; for
sheep, mainly Suffolk, but other more unusual breeds too
-- badger faced Welsh mountain, Hebridean and rare
Castlemilk Moorit, some for their fine wools, some for
their firm, well-flavoured meat. Gill and Kim like the
old healthy, vigurous breeds. So they keep traditional
breeds of pigs for succulent pork, Marans and Khaki
Campbell ducks for astonishing eggs and, at Christmas
and Easter, they produce Broad Breasted White turkeys,
for which place your orders now.
We are not registered organic. This does not mean that we use steroids, antibiotics or compound fertilisers. What does organic really mean? We farm using traditional methods. We use
farmyard manure as fertiliser, careful field rotation, and regular chain harrowing of grazing land. Medicines are only used when required, rather than on a herd / flock basis. |
