healthy, sustainable, quality meat
F&Co eat better meat®
Our better meat is free-range, naturally-fed and dry-aged, sourced from responsible and sustainable British farms.
Our Breeds
The British Isles has some of the finest beef, pork, and lamb breeds in the world, bred to perfection in the 18th and 19th centuries, to yield more marbling and fuller flavour as well as range freely in the great outdoors. These breeds became perilously close to extinction in the twentieth century with the onset of industrialised farming. Our mission is to return heritage breeds to the nation's table, with a founding principle of Farmison & Co being that the more we demand them, the more farmers will rear them.
ethical farming
We source from a network of small, family farms, close to our Ripon base, primarily in the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors. Our farmers are specialists in raising heritage breeds on pasture the old-fashioned way, in balance with the environment. We are always free range, and do not rush animals to market - our herds and flocks grow naturally at their own pace. We give our farmers a fair price they can rely on, to ensure their continued stewardship of the environment.
Our Story
Farmison & Co was originally the creation of John Pallagi and Lee Simmonds. Restaurateurs by background, they wanted to give home cooks access to the best British produce, ordinarily destined for the top tables of international restaurants. By building a new supply chain working with traditional farmers, we supply better meat direct to your door. Farmison & Co is based in the cathedral city of Ripon, with the lush pastures of the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors on the doorstep.
Our Quality
We are butchers by trade, and artisans at our craft. We are experts at dry-ageing, hanging our beef to ensure fuller flavour and succulence. Our range of both traditional and modern butchery cuts is constantly growing as we encourage home cooks to eat nose-to-tail and discover new dishes.
our farms
Behind any good butcher is a network of brilliant suppliers. Being based in Ripon, North Yorkshire, we're fortunate enough to have access to some of the best in the world right on our doorstep.
