Callum Edge, owner said, “Delifonseca and their commitment, like ourselves, to truly great responsibly sourced food, has always been on our radar as one of the region’s finest. When the opportunity arose to join them, we jumped at it!”

“We stock traditional and British rare breed meat from a radius of 25 miles. Nose to tail selection. We say that we are not just farm to fork butchers, but ‘gene to fork’ butchers. We ensure original British Breed gene pools in our livestock. We believe in slow growing, outdoor and naturally forage fed stock to ensure breadth and depth of flavour that commercial breeds cannot promise. We believe in food production though traditional farming methods and not the factory farming approach.”

“Because we buy live and ‘on the hoof’; every part of the animal should be available to our customers (within of course the legal food standards framework). We can butcher and prepare cuts to meet our customers’ exact needs.”

Edge & Son is currently developing a range of oven-ready prepared products. Callum Edge said, “They will be genuine home prepared products from scratch ingredients. No artificial additives or flavourings and no refined sugars.”
