From a smallholding in the beautiful south Shropshire Hills Allison and Rob Littlehales rear traditional breeds of free range pork, lamb and poultry.
With a family background in farming, what began as a desire to raise and butcher superior tasting meat for their own freezer has grown into a busy hobby with demand constantly outstripping supply.
Their meat comes from pedigree Gloucestershire Old Spot and Berkshire pigs and their lamb is from Balwen and Hill Radnor sheep.
The Littlehales family are members of the British Pig Association and the Gloucestershire Pig Breeders Club.
It was lovely to see all the animals enjoying the freedom of being out and about. I'm convinced it's this natural way of life that gave the pork we purchased it's outstanding flavour. Just like pork used to be. We'll certainly be back for more. Tallowbrook 3.12.09
This smallholding produces some of the best pork i have ever tasted BUT by far are the SAUSAGES these are to die for they are the best ever you always have to cook extra so you can eat the rest cold
The egg's are a brilliant yellow when you break them the goose it full of superb flavour
as are the chicken's
And no doubt the lamb will be as excellent as all the rest of what they produce
the welfare of all the animals to top notch all are attended with care and attention second to none
I love going there to see what Allison and Rob are going to do next !!!!!!!!!!
I've had pork, chicken, eggs and goose from here and they are all wonderful, but the best by far are the sausages!!!!!! You want to just eat more and more of them. I've visited the smallholding and it really is a small family business that Rob and Allison love. I would recommend there produce to anyone and everyone and I keep going back for more! (lambs are next!)

The meat comes frozen, and well insulated (in a box with a fleece at insulation), so even if you are out at work you can have it delivered.
