Hareround Organic Beef

The Hares Family have been farming at Roundhill Farm, Highworth for four generations. We specialise in top quality organic beef and arable products.

Why choose organically reared beef?
Many consumers are concerned about the quality of the food that they eat. Organic food is food you can trust. It must be certified by law so you can be assured that the product & ingredients come from verified sources.
At Hareround Organic we have chosen to farm organically, it is not easy and takes real commitment & attention to detail. We work with nature, using crop rotations & clover to build fertility in the soil. Our organic stock are bought in direct from other farms, not through markets, and usually at a young age so that they are able to adapt easily to our farming system. We choose animals that are suited to grazing outdoors; “zero grazing” (where animals are kept indoors & fresh grass taken to them), is banned under organic standards. Animals are reared without the routine use of antibiotics or wormers, and all animal feed is GM free. Our animals are fed on grass and clover, whether grazed directly in the summer, or preserved by bailing into silage for the winter. This is supplemented by oats, barley, beans, Lucerne pellets, and minerals. Most feed is grown and prepared on farm. Animals are processed locally, and we have complete traceability of the product from arrival on our farm to arrival at your door.
In addition to concerns over safety and quality, many of us want to live in a way that reduces our environmental impact. Choosing local, organic, and seasonal food can significantly reduce your carbon footprint and organic farming can help fight against climate change by sequestering carbon in soils.
Ultimately, we make decisions as we shop as to whether what we are buying is good value, and good food is a treat that we all want at least occasionally. Many shoppers choose organic because it tastes good.
