Dave and Sarah Kittow rear Aberdeen Angus cattle on their fathers' family farms in the Blackdown Hills at Hemyock and at Payhembury in Devon. Kittow Cattle has been going since 2003, selling that beef direct as meat boxes delivered to the door. The cattle are grass fed and the beef is hung for 3 to 4 weeks before butchery, which is longer than nearly all supermarket beef gets and is where the flavour comes from. The boxes are built to order rather than fixed. You tell them the size of joints and steaks you want, then how much diced beef, mince, sausage and burger to make up the rest, and they pack it to suit your household. A small freezer or a family of six, the box matches what you'll actually cook. Everything leaves the farm fridges chilled and arrives anywhere in the country within 24 hours, fresh, so you can eat it that week or freeze it for later. The Blackdown Hills are a National Landscape on the Devon and Somerset border, proper livestock country, and this is beef from one family farming there across two generations. If you've been meaning to buy beef from a farm rather than a shelf, a bespoke box from the Kittows is a good place to start.

Awards and Recognition

What makes them special is their business model: one family, Aberdeen Angus reared on their own fathers' farms in the Blackdown Hills, beef hung for 3 to 4 weeks and boxes built to each customer's order rather than a standard pack list.
