Taste Tradition is a North Yorkshire farming family specialising in Rare and Traditional Breed Pigs and Rare/Native Breed Cattle and Sheep. Our farming methods are reminiscent of our Grandfathers' era, bringing out the very best in the breeds that we rear and, in turn, producing extremely high quality, beautifully tasting pork, beef and lamb. The Rare Breed Suckling Piglet is our specialty. Explore the site and Taste Tradition!

IFE went very well for us, and a lot of people have shown an interest in what we do - I think the suckling pig in the chiller display helped to make us memorable! As a result we have a number of new customers, and several prospective customers. Also, big news in the pipeline, but I'll fill you all in on that in good time!

Entries to the Meat Management Competition are in for judging, so cross those fingers that we get something back for our trophy cabinet or wall of fame...

Well, it all seems to be go at Taste Tradition HQ at the moment! Our entries to the BPEX awards did very well, gathering 1 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze awards! Contact us if you are interested in trying our Outdoor Reared Saddleback Loin Steak, Outdoor Reared Saddleback Belly with Italian Marinade, Maple Cured Saddleback Bacon Chop or our Air Dried Saddleback ham cured in Ale! We are now gearing up for the next big competition with Meat Management Magazine - fingers crossed...

The approach of Spring is bringing with it a lot of extra work for Charles on the farms as lambs and calves are abound and making appearances at all hours... We may not see much of him over the coming weeks.

So, we all survived the Christmas period with sanity and fingers intact - though with the number of orders our superb butchers got through in the week leading up to Christmas, I'm surprised! After a few days off to recuperate and top up our batteries we're back at it and aiming to make this a record-breaking year - at least by our standards!

Well it seems that lady luck is very much shining on us of late. Fresh from winning at the Deliciouslyorkshire awards with our Rare Breed Hambleton Lighting Ale, we are once again winners of a national award for our Rare Breed Porchetta. As stated in our last post our porchetta was in the final three of the meat and poultry section at the Excellence in Food and Drink Awards. On Friday our directors Charles and James made there way down to the event held at the Dorchester Hotel on Park Lane with their fingers crossed for another win and they weren’t disappointed. To try our award winning porchetta please get in touch.

10th November 2009
As stated in our last news item in October we were in the final of yet another competition for our Rare Breed Hambleton Lightning Ham. Well at last nights awards we are pleased to announce that we won the prepared meat category. We were up against some stiff opposition but in the end the judges were overwhelmed by our ham’s quality and flavour.

We are all keeping our fingers crossed that good luck continues for the rest of the month and that we can be a winner again in the finals of the Excellence in Food and Drink Awards where our Rare Breed Porchetta is nominated in the meat and poultry section. The ceremony is being held at the Dorchester Hotel on Park Lane, London at the end of the month. Hopefully we’ll be winners again!
