SOIL IS THE STRATEGY.
British Food Fortnight: Put a Cow in Your Freezer
British Food Fortnight is a good excuse to think about where our food comes from — but in 2026, it also has to fit into real life.
Because however much we might like the idea of cooking from scratch every evening, Tuesday happens. You’re late home, everyone’s hungry and nobody has thought about tea.
There’s a reason meal boxes like Gousto work. Convenience matters.
Our answer to convenience is slightly different.
Batch cook — and put a cow in your freezer.
Well, not actually a cow.
Our Beefy Box contains 8kg+ of Lower Blakemere beef and, rather surprisingly, takes up roughly one freezer shelf.
So you don’t need a chest freezer, an outhouse or to evict the frozen peas.
You get a genuinely useful mixture of cuts from cattle raised here at Lower Blakemere, butchered locally and packed ready for your freezer.
Then do the convenience bit yourself.
Make a big bolognese and freeze half. Cook chilli for tonight and another one for next week. Slow-cook something on Sunday that sorts Monday too.
That’s our version of convenience: batch cooking and a freezer shelf full of proper food.
And then there are sausages.
Our Sausage Box gives you 4.5kg of proper sausages for the freezer — sausage and mash, toad-in-the-hole, sausage casserole or simply we’ve got nothing for tea… oh yes we have.
No tiny pots of ingredients. No recipe card telling you to finely chop something when you’ve just walked through the door at seven o’clock.
Just British food, from one Herefordshire farm, sitting in your freezer ready when you need it.
And importantly, you’re not buying half a cow.
You’re filling one freezer shelf.
A little British Food Fortnight bonus
If you’ve been thinking about trying Lower Blakemere beef, this seems as good an excuse as any.
Throughout British Food Fortnight, there’s £10 off your first Beefy Box order.
Because buying British is all very well — but it needs to be practical, affordable and actually work for the way we live now.
REAL FARM. REAL FOOD.
We farm it. You eat it.
