Farmison & Co

General information

Our philosophy is everybody should eat better meat at an affordable price, know where their food comes from, and support Great British farmers.

Farmison & Co’s story is tied to the Fells and Dales of Cumbria and Yorkshire. It was here John Pallagi and Lee Simmonds – restaurateurs at the time – decided to act upon the fact the food they knew and loved was not readily available outside of restaurants.

That is, herds and flocks of British native breeds allowed to mature to their full potential on moorland and lush pastures for standout flavours. It seemed nonsensical that it wasn’t available given the struggles of British agriculture, but anonymous food lacking in taste was, off the supermarket shelf.

Farmison & Co is their answer to this. The website aims to have complete transparency, so you can see exactly where your food comes from, down to the very farm and enjoy better meat delivered direct to wherever you are in the UK fresh, ready for cooking or freezing.

Our network represents a unique mosaic of small scale British farms, with all of our produce crafted on the country butcher’s block, boasting both generations of butchery expertise, and also the input of Michelin starred chef Jeff Baker to ensure only the very best for your table.

You can also choose your breed of lamb, pork, or beef, with Farmison & Co working with the goals of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust in mind, to help preserve our agricultural heritage by encouraging the enlargement of our herds and flocks.
