This is feedback from one of the users of their ‘Food Pantrys’:

“Having the home made frozen meals is so lovely. Of course, they taste good. They’re nutritious. But more than this, I know that they have been made with care, and given with kindness. 

Eating them actually makes me feel loved! I know that sounds cheesey, but it does make me feel  good, that I matter, and that good people do care for me. That last bit sounds so OTT, but it’s true, I love my Pantry dindins!

It makes me feel someone’s looking after me “

  DID YOU KNOW? 
Our beef is certified as Organic and Pasture-for-Life. Organic and Pasture-for-Life beef has been proven to be an important source of Omega 3 and more nutrient dense in comparison to “conventionally” fed Beef which is part-grain/cereal and part-grass fed. 
The research paper can be found here.* 
“Whilst differences between non-organic and organic systems are not new, this is the first record of the extra benefit if cattle are fed 100% -forage diets throughout their life. Their meat ought to be recognised as a ‘source of long chain n-3′, especially relevant for societies with limited fish consumption.”
