Fourth generation farmers, the Robinson family - Lorna and Sam,sons Robert and Richard, with occasional help from their nursing daughter, Clare - focus on beef (Aberdeen Angus/Limousin cross heifers), lamb (Texel cross) and free-range egg production on their 185 acre farm.
Since being invited by the local council to help set up a farmers' market in 2002 - and therefore introduced to direct sales - they have never looked back.
Now, in a beautiful and unspoilt environment, they also operate one of Northern Ireland's biggest and best organised farm shops, where they sell their own produce and that of hand picked local farmers who can live up to their telling slogan, 'Taste You Can Trust'. Selecting the best carcasses, beef is dry matured for 28 days, lamb for 10-14 days, for flavour and tenderness.
Lorna and her younger son, Richard, run the farm shop, where they also sell locally produced chicken, pork, home cured bacon, prepared foods (including the famous Northern Ireland 'vegetable rolls') and Lorna's very successful range cooked products. They are mainly quite traditional, with lasagne and shepherd's pie available in several sizes, for example, and stand out for their homemade flavour.
All products are available through their online shop, which offers free delivery in Ireland & UK over a designated value. The prepared foods are also retailed by selected shops.
