Garry & Gill Schofield's Hogget
In the autumn of 2022, Garry and Gill Schofield, who farm National Trust land in the stunning valley of Upper Wharfedale, sent us Swaledale hogget to taste test. These hoggets are left to fatten naturally on the rich, nutrient-dense grass of the spring and summer months. This was truly hogget at its finest, reared at the pace of nature on a low-input farm deep in The Dales. We were blown away by the depth of flavour and knew this was something we’d love to share with our customers, which we did for the first time last summer.
Although you can’t rush these things and there is no fast-forward button in our type of farming, it’s been nearly two years since that conversation with Garry and Gill and those delicious taste tests, and we’re thrilled to say more hoggets are now ready!
Reared in the way nature intended and left to mature at their own pace, these hoggets are not only a wonderful development for Garry and Gill's business, but they are also a stunning product and a testament to the superior quality, taste, and texture of native breed meat.
