Askerton Castle Estate

Info:  Is an organic farm specialising in hardy native breeds in the beautiful wild countryside near Hadrian’s Wall in North East Cumbria. We breed pedigree Belted Galloway cattle, Kerry Hill and Scottish Blackface sheep, Tamworth and Berkshire pigs; our purebred hens provide organic eggs, and we breed a small number of Muscovy ducks, and Toulouse geese. Most of the livestock are traditional rare breeds. We also breed alpacas and sell fibre, as well as Belted Galloway rugs.

We have an on-farm butchery which enables us to cut, prepare and pack all the fresh meat we sell – some products are garnished using seasonal organic vegetables, herbs and fruit from our small kitchen garden.

We sell what is born and bred on our farm, giving our customers complete assurance that our livestock has been cared for by us from start to finish to produce the finest quality British meat. Askerton Castle Estate is a 1458 acre organic livestock farm, certified fully organic since September 2004 and is run by Jane Eden and Chris Evans.
