‘Forward thinking farming’ is the motto at the Cole family’s fascinating farm just off the Causeway Coastal Route, and they’re renowned for their ethical and environmental policies.
The family - Charlie and Becky and Charlie’s parents, Millie and Robin - have earned a huge reputation for products rarely seen elsewhere, like cabrito kid goat meat (try the famous Billy Burger), rose veal and, more recently, wild game.
Including game may seem surprising, but it resulted from Charlie’s experience at nearby Baronscourt Estate and makes a lot of sense environmentally.
They’re members of the Economusée ‘working museum’ network (‘Farm to Fork’ tour), and also encourage visitors to come to their lovely café and shop (which also stocks other local products), and to look around the farm.
One to seek out.
