Herdwick Lamb & Angus Beef home produce from the fells of the English Lake District

Fell Farm Fresh Herdwick Lamb
Millbeck Farm Herdwick Lamb is deliciously tasting, delicately flavoured and reared completely naturally on the Langdale Fells of the English Lake District.

Herdwick is the traditional, local breed of the Lakeland fells and possesses a unique nature to 'heft' (the instinct to remain in a particular part of the fells), so our sheep are allowed to graze wild and free on the hillsides. Our lamb is not mass-produced, factory farmed or force fed but slow matured - it is ready, when it is ready.

This stress-free environment and high standard of animal welfare produces a meat of exceptional eating, quality, with a fuller flavour and succulent texture.

You can now order your Herdwick Lamb direct from the farm on which it is produced - saving you money, retaining all the fell freshness and helping to preserve the livelihood of Lakeland farmers.

Enjoy that Traditional Angus Beef taste
At Millbeck Farm, we also rear Aberdeen Angus cattle. This classic beef breed is grown naturally and fed on the lush, sweet grass of our farm, at the head of the Langdale Valley.
