Lake District Farmers supply Herdwick lamb, Herdwick mutton and native-breed beef from a network of around 50 Cumbrian farms to some of Britain's leading restaurant kitchens, including Michelin-starred ones. If you've eaten exceptional Lake District meat in a restaurant, there's every chance it passed through their headquarters in Ulverston first. Their business model is simple and rare. Rather than each fell farm finding its own buyers, the farms supply one operation in Ulverston that handles the butchery, the traceability and the delivery, with the farm named on every order. Herdwick lamb and mutton from the high fells sit alongside native-breed beef and naturally reared rose veal. The chef knows which farm the carcass came from, and the farmer gets a route to a proper price without leaving the yard. James Martin featured Lake District Farmers in his Islands to Highlands series and you can see why. This is supply built around the landscape, the breeds and the people who farm them. It's worth knowing their name even if you're not in the restaurant trade: because next time Herdwick appears on a menu you're browsing it's probably been supplied by this business.
