Our story

“The Ashbridge family have been farming within the North Yorkshire Moors for the last 3 generations. In 2004 myself and my mother Joyce had an idea to sell our traditionally raised, high welfare meat to the hospitality sector through our wholesale business, Taste Tradition Ltd. Rare breeds were our main focus as they produced the best tasting meat.

The farms are well stocked with a variety of animals, including Longhorn, Shorthorn, Aberdeen Angus, Red Poll, Dexter, Hereford, Galloway, Belted Galloway, Welsh and Irish Moiled cattle; Saddleback, Gloucester Old Spot and Welsh pigs; and Texel and Suffolk sheep.

Traditional methods and high welfare are paramount on our farms, we still have farming systems in place now that were evident in my Grandfathers day. Often these farming methods are passed from generation to generation without knowing.

Over the past 5 years we have actively looked to improving our sustainability, we have put our farm into an Environmental Stewardship scheme, we have rewilded some of our land and we are reducing the amount of soya fed in any of our diets.

Our long term plan is to have soya free diets.
