Wild Yorkshire Venison (back in stock from September)
Located in the heart of wild game country, buy our prime Venison online which is exclusively and sustainably sourced from wild deer on Harewood Estate in West Yorkshire, UK. Red, Roe and Fallow deer have unlimited access to one hundred and twenty-five acres of parkland and seventy-five acres of woodland. These wild herds of deer are herbivores feeding on nutrient-dense grasses and evergreens in autumn and winter as well as eating fruits, nuts and acorns.
We have been working with Harewood Estate, just outside Leeds, for many years now - access to world-class venison on our doorstep is a considerable accolade and greatly appreciated by our chef community. Calves born around June time and reared at Harewood are all farmed utilising low-intensity, traditional methods. Deer naturally graze all year round on the grasses, herbs and wildflowers that grow in wildlife-friendly hedgerows, grasslands and wetland habitats, particularly enjoying acorns in the autumn from veteran parkland oak trees.
This farm-assured, conservation grazing approach ensures Harewood Estate's deer herds are free of synthetic growth hormones and that veterinary intervention is minimal. Venison is a strong-flavoured red meat often described as ‘gamey’ that is low in fat and high in protein. Healthy, lean and tender meat which is packed full of flavour. Shop our expertly butchered selection of wild venison sausages, mince and steaks.
