Why Welsh?
The Welsh Way
Welsh farmers are famous all over the world for producing distinctive, world-class tasting lamb and beef. The non-intensive environment in which livestock are reared develops succulent, sweet and tender meat. For centuries, livestock have thrived on the natural grassland available all year round, in one of he most unspoilt corners of the world.
