Hogget from Harewood Estate & Wharfedale | Native Breed Meat
Sourced from two distinct Yorkshire landscapes - the historic Harewood Estate near Leeds and the upland pastures of Upper Wharfedale - this collection of heritage breed hogget meat champions native livestock reared the traditional way. These hardy sheep thrive on species-rich grass and rough grazing land in low-input, conservation-focused systems that prioritise biodiversity and landscape stewardship.
Hoggets are yearling lambs, aged 12–24 months, left to fatten naturally through spring and summer. The result is deeply flavoured Yorkshire hogget - lean yet tender meat with a sweet, slightly herbal finish that’s distinctive in character and unmistakably of its place. Sitting between lamb and mutton in both texture and flavour, hogget is especially good in bold, spice-led dishes like shawarma or tandoori, as well as in slow-braised recipes. Ideal for those looking to buy hogget online and explore the depth of native breed meat.
