Traditional Free Range
Argae Cottage
Welcome to Argae Cottage
Traditional Free Range Christmas Turkeys, Grass Fed Beef, Lamb and Pork.
Catriona and Jonathan would like to welcome you to Argae Cottage - our family farm, situated on the banks of the River Severn, near Llandrinio.
Animal Welfare
The welfare of our animals is our top priority.
We farm on a small scale, allowing us to give attention to the needs of each individual animal.
​
Our native breeds have been carefully chosen to suit our traditional farming methods. Our animals enjoy a free range lifestyle, and are allowed to grow slowly, at a natural rate.
​
Grass Fed
Our cows and lambs are entirely grass reared for the whole of their lives, grazing permanent pasture on a rotational grazing system. In winter they eat home grown silage.
​
Grass fed meat has been shown to have health benefits, with a higher level of beneficial omega 3 fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants.
​
Environment
We strive to farm in harmony with nature.
​
Our grazing animals have a significantly lower environmental impact than animals fed on cereals.
Well managed grassland actually captures and stores carbon.
.
Read more about the environmental benefits of grazing, on the soil association website.
​
Our rotational grazing system produces long grass, with abundant clover - in Summer, this is teeming with bees and other insects.
​
We are steadily planting more hedges around our fields, and allowing the existing hedgerows to grow taller and wider, leaving space for wildlife to thrive.
​
A large proportion of our electricity is provided by our wind turbine.
Taste
All of this results in delicious, tender meat, with the good old-fashioned flavour so often lost in today's intensively produced meat.
It's wonderful to see this recognised, with a collection of Great Taste Awards - for our free range turkeys, Welsh lamb, and Shetland beef.
