At Trenchmore, they sustainably raise slow-grown, grass-fed Sussex Wagyu cattle. The herd grazes on pastures that improve soil health, and their diet includes local by-products like brewers’ grains, linseed cake, and apple pomace. This approach reduces artificial fertiliser use and ensures high-welfare, delicious beef.
