Deer - The new meat craze!

The demand for Venison is steadily increasing! Finally. Here's why Mendip Farm Butchers like it:

  • Venison has a very gamey flavour is far more interesting than pork or chicken.
  • Gram for gram, it contains less fat than a skinless chicken breast.
  • It has the highest protein and the lowest cholesterol content of any major meat.
  • It’s thoroughly sustainable.
  • Always free-range.

Who's up For Venison then?

Everyone Should Eat Meat

Reason Number 1- Meat Contains Essential Fats.

 Meat provides the two essential fats Omega-3 and Omega-6. Meat is also abundant in the four fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. From eyesight to bone density to cell viability to blood health, the essential fats and every fat-soluble vitamin are a necessary.
 
Reason Number 2- We evolved to eat meat.

Since 3,500,000 years ago when the first upright ape/man arrived. We have eaten any animal we could catch.

Reason Number 3 - The UK is Vastly Deficient in Vitamins A, D and E

 The average UK citizen is getting barely 20% of the vitamin D that we need; little over half the retinol recommendation the form in which the body needs vitamin A and two-thirds of our vitamin E requirement.

Reason Number 4  Liver Is One Of The Most Nutritious Foods Ever.

 Not many people know that liver would even beat apples in a vitamin C contest it has four times the vitamin C.

And recently quoted in an article
Reason Number 5 - We need to eat grass-living animals

The world's topsoil which is being decimated by our obsession with grains, starchy foods and crop optimisation needs cattle grazing outdoors and leaving waste products to feed the millions of living organisms that make up soil and the earth itself. Ruminants/sunshine/humans and topsoil should live symbiotically in the ultimate circle of life. The day we decided that breakfast should be sugary cereal rather than bacon and eggs and that dinner should be pasta or pizza, rather than liver or pork, was the day that we started the destruction of life itself. - said by Zoƫ Harcombe is a nutritionist, author and obesity researcher.

Hello and Welcome to Mendip Farm Butchers Ltd Blog,

My name is James Hancock, From the 30th September I will be taking over the running of this business.

Also bringing you weekly offers, recipes, and  updates of the day to day running of the shop.

I would just like to thank everybody who recommended me to Sir. David Wills, Sir. David Wills himself for giving me and my family this opportunity, also Mr John Lyons for teaching me his ways, and choosing me to take on the running of his family business. I hope I do him and his family proud.

I hope I can continue to give you a friendly high quality service, I hope I can meet the high expectations and standards, of which John has left a legacy of. Everything will remain mostly the same, with a few changes yet to be decided on. I hope I can invite other members of the wider community to come in and see what I can offer you.

I welcome any comments, suggestions and feedback. My job is to give you the best service and quality meat at a price that's right. I hope members of Blagdon Village and other villages near by will feel comfortable enough to pop in and see what I have to offer, there's no pressure to make a purchase, I'm more than happy to give price quotes and assist in any which way I can.
