ABOUT US
Buy the best - Henrietta Green recommends us as one of her favourite meat producers:
"Best of British – On the edge of the North York Moors is Taste Tradition, a mixed farm specialising in rare and traditional British breeds: Aberdeen Angus, Hereford and Longhorn beef; Swaledale and Suffolk lamb; Gloucester Old Spot and Saddleback pigs."
BBC Good Food Magazine, April 2005, page 36.
Joyce & Charles Ashbridge (mother and son) founded Taste Tradition on New Year’s Day 2004. Their success is testament to the increased value people place on animal welfare, traditional methods and high quality, beautifully tasting real produce.
Nestled at the top of Sutton Bank in the North York Moors National Park, the Ashbridge family has farmed at Cold Kirby for 3 generations. The traditional methods of breeding, rearing and finishing livestock used in our grandfather’s day are still evident in Charles’s protocols. The combination of outdoor rearing and the breeds is quite simply, incredible taste - ‘the proof is in the pudding’ as they say.
A Rare Breed herd was chosen because these breeds:
- are well suited to our outdoor rearing system because they’re naturally more resilient than the modern commercial pig. Their health status is higher as a result.
- mature at a slower rate than commercial breeds - in addition to a carefully controlled diet of natural ingredients, the flavour of the meat is enhanced. We believe that ultimately, this is what people are looking for.
