LOCAL LAMB FROM PARK TO PLATE | FARM FOCUS
Discover a new sustainable initiative from Nene Park Trust, monthly ‘Park to Plate’ lamb boxes, containing lamb born and reared on Nene Park land managed in a nature-friendly way. Park to Plate has grown out of the share farming partnership between Nene Park Trust and first generation farmers, Oundle brothers Craig and Ryan Baxter, following the three key principles of being kind to animals, kind to nature and kind to the environment. Placing the utmost importance on the welfare of animals, the farming system is entirely forage-based, meaning that livestock enjoy grass, herbs and wildflowers throughout their lives, minimising environmental impact and maximising benefits to nature.
Every stage of the farming cycle is managed locally, resulting in a genuinely hyper-local product. With few inputs and the highest animal welfare standards, Park to Plate meat has a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to intensively reared supermarket produce. Park to Plate lamb boxes are available to order from the Nene Park online shop on a monthly basis with collection from the Visitor Centre, Gift & Farm Shop in Ferry Meadows. Customers can choose from three sizes, which contain a variety of cuts of lamb. Visit their website for a list of contents and prices: www.nenepark.org.uk/shop
