Graig Farm Organic Meat
Graig Farm Organic Meat (UK): Graig Farm is a meat processing, wholesaling, retailing and mail order business, located in mid-Wales on the border with England. The livestock used by Graig Farm are supplied by members (20) of the Graig Farm Producers Group, most of whom are based in the region. Nearly all of the products sold by Graig Farm are certified as organic.
A novel product that has benefits for primary producers because a central aspect of the marketing of the product is connections with local primary producers.
The best example we know of a completely new product range in the SFC sector in Wales.
