The Goat Company has gained much interest from Michelin Star rated restaurants in Newcastle and London who are interested in the quality, leanness and healthier option of the meat.

The rest of the herd was started on site and we still have the original dairy goats which began the whole enterprise.

Goat meat (chevon) is becoming increasingly popular in this country as it is a tender meat, similar to lamb or beef but slightly more gamey. It is low in cholesterol and saturated fat, high in iron and B vitamins, and healthier than chicken.

It is said to make up 80% of the meat consumed in the world. Recently it has enjoyed a high media profile, both on the radio and television.

The Goat Company boer herd was started with Janus Rum - known as Ron - who was bought from Tiff and Judith Hall in Norfolk.
