From Farm to Fork with Lakings
National Butchers Week is coming up from March 3rd to March 9th, and at Lakings, we’re proud to celebrate the craft of butchery while raising awareness of the importance of quality, traceability and sustainability in meat production. This week is not just about showcasing skilled butchers but also about highlighting the journey from farm to fork, something we take great pride in.
Local Farms, Trusted Suppliers
At Lakings, we work closely with a handpicked selection of local farmers who share our commitment to high-welfare, sustainable farming. Our farmers, based in and around Lincolnshire, take great care in rearing livestock to the highest standards, ensuring exceptional meat quality while supporting our local communities. By keeping our supply chain short and local, we guarantee full traceability, meaning our customers always know where their food comes from.
We believe that great meat starts on the farm. That’s why we partner with suppliers who prioritise animal welfare and traditional farming methods. Our beef, for example, comes from native breeds such as Lincoln Red, renowned for its rich flavour and tenderness. These cattle are grass-fed, free to roam and raised with care, resulting in premium-quality meat that’s second to none.
Quality You Can Trust
Food quality and safety are at the heart of what we do. By working directly with trusted farmers, we maintain rigorous standards at every stage from rearing and feeding to transport and butchery. This hands-on approach means we can oversee every aspect of production, ensuring our customers receive only the finest cuts of meat.
Unlike mass-produced supermarket alternatives, our meat is carefully selected and prepared by experienced butchers who understand the importance of provenance. Whether it’s succulent lamb from the Lincolnshire Wolds or traditional pork from well-managed local farms, every product we offer reflects our dedication to quality and sustainability.
Supporting Local Communities
By choosing Lakings, you’re not just buying top-quality meat, you’re supporting local farmers, butchers and rural businesses. National Butchers Week is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the role independent butchers play in keeping traditional skills alive, promoting ethical farming and ensuring customers enjoy the very best produce.
Don’t forget to support your local butcher, buy sustainably sourced produce of the highest quality and always – buy better, buy less.
