FAQ
We are often asked about our grass-fed beef, and how it gets from Clarkhill Farm to your fork... The answers to these questions and many more can be found here.
Why Grass-Fed Beef?
There are many health benefits to eating grass-fed beef over conventional grain-fed beef from feedlots.
- Extra Omega 3 - Grass-fed beef contains as much as three times more Omega 3 (good fats found in oily fish) than grain-fed beef. This aids in prevention of depression and cancer, whilst also lowering blood pressure.
- CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) is higher in grass-fed cuts. This is a nutrient associated with lowering heart disease and cancer risk, as well as reducing body fat and maintaining lean body mass.
- Grass-fed beef is rich in Vitamin A and Vitamin E, which help strengthen the immune system and maintain healthy skin and eyes. Vitamin E is actually four times higher in our grass-fed beef than in the grain-fed beef available elsewhere.
Why Frozen?
Sometimes our produce may be frozen. Freezing it helps to ensure a longer shelf life for some of our products without having to use any nasty additives or preservatives. We are confident that this has no effect on the quality or taste of our products.
Home Delivery?
Yes! We do offer a limited amount of home delivery within our local area. We offer a Delivery Service within 10 miles from the farm. This is automatically picked up at checkout so pick this option if available. There is a small delivery charge of £4 per order and a minimum spend of £30. There is the option if you are local to use to choose free collection from either the farm or one of our weekly market stalls.
Postage?
We have introduced a postage service to our website. We are able to post our produce across the Island of Ireland both North and South. All our Northern Ireland orders are posted using Royal Mail Tracked 24hr Service and all our Southern Ireland orders are posted directly from the south using An Post Next Day Delivery to ensure a speedy service and no extra customs or charges!
However as some of our cuts can be fresh or frozen each week we have decided to only allow fresh cuts to be sent via courier. Having carried out our own trials we weren't happy with posting frozen produce. However with the packaging that we have chosen your produce is guaranteed to remain fresh for minimum 48hrs. Which more than allows for an appropriate window for Next Day Delivery.
So when ordering for our postage service, please order from the "Beef and Lamb Available for Postage" section. As this will be updated each week.
