Our Supplier Spot: Green Farm at Helliefield
Melton's is featuring Limestone Beef on our menu in February. The Highland cattle of Hellifield graze on the limestone pavements of the Dales. These cattle were specifically chosen to breed here because, apart from having an amazing flavour, unlike sheep, they will not eat the flora and fauna and therefore will not destroy the natural beauty of the Dales area around Malham.
We get our Limestone beef from Green Farm at Hellifield. Green Farm is situated on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, and the animals graze within the National Park. They farm about 350 acres in three blocks from Green Farm, Hellifield. In addition we run some of our Highland cattle at the Malham Cove beauty spot under an agreement with another farmer.
With the Highland Beef animals being raised predominantly on grass, this extremely natural, healthy product is low in fat, low in cholesterol, high in Omega 3 and very tasty!
