Farm Walk at Rockliffe Estate with Marks & Spencer

A meeting was arranged with Marks & Spencer to discuss the supply of lambs for their Speciality Range of lamb. We are proud to supply to Marks and Spencer and were keen to show them one of our member's farms. Farm Manager Darren Major hosted the farm walk and explained the importance of sheep for the estate. The sheep flock comprises of approximately 1,500 ewes

David Gauld, the shepherd at the estate explained their system for producing early lambs and showed us some of their sheep. A spectacular barbeque was excellently cooked by chef Rory Baxter and some Speciality Cotswold Spring Lamb from Marks & Spencer enjoyed by all.

A meeting to discuss marketing and the supply chain was held at Guiting Manor Farms farm office with
Isla Roebuck from Dawn Meats, Steve McClean (Head of Agriculture, M&S) and Tom Harvey (Lamb buyer, M&S) .
