Graig Farm - Who We Are

Who We Are

  This November sees Welsh Farm Organics celebrating its 8th year in  business. It seems a long time since Jonathan first dreamt up the idea of having  an organic meat business offering top quality meat from there own farm.

Jonathan of course is no stranger to farming having lived all his life on the family farm in the Dugwm valley right in the heart of Montgomeryshire. Sally, on the other hand, couldn't have been further from farming and all things 'country'. She started her adult life in London at university and then working in St. Thomas' Hospital as a Staff Nurse. Nevertheless their love of good quality food and the countryside gave them a common goal and thus Welsh Farm Organics was born.

In August 2002 Jonathan and Sally were married and by now their dream was a reality. A purpose-built cutting plant was built on their farm and they were supplying some of the best restaurants in the country. The Dorchester,  was one of their first major clients and this was a great boost to the young couple.

2003 saw the birth of Maldwyn their first son. Soon to be followed in 2006 by Max and then 2007 by Archie.

 

By mid 2004 the on-line shop was well established and the second phase of 'the dream' was being realised. This service provided Joe Public with the good quality, affordable, traceable, organic meat that Jonathan had always wanted. and winning endless awards for there quality of there meat

In the spring of 2009 Jonathan and Sally had the oppotunity of purchasing the trading arm of Graig Farm from the long establised operation run by Bob and Carolyn Kennard. Having been in the industry for nearly 21 years they felt it was time to concentrate their time on their many other projects and hand over the reins to new blood.

The Butchery

As all the butchery and processing is carried out at our new processing facilities on the farm, we need a team of expert butchery staff to achieve and maintain our high standards. This work falls under our Head Butcher, Mark Stephens, who with his team of butchery staff ensures that standards are indeed maintained.

The Overall Team

We are  very much a team  - from farmers, to butchers to management and office staff. By working together, we believe we can produce the quality of products  which  our customers want.
