Airey's Farm Shop Snowdrop Villa, Ayside, Grange-over-Sands, Cumbria LA11 6JE Tel: 015395 31237 e-mail: aireysfarmshop@hotmail.com website: www.aireysfarmshop.co.uk Finding "meat like it used to taste" is one very good reason for paying a visit to Airey's Farm Shop at Ayside in the Lake District National Park. The shop is owned and run by the Airey family whose aim is to produce quality meat with the flavour of years gone by. Accordingly, they offer meat from rare and traditional breeds, such as Lakeland Herdwick lamb, as well as modern day breeds. The animals are raised on their own farms as naturally as possible, or on local Cumbrian farms with the same standard of animal welfare as their own. The Aireys identify four essentials for producing good meat with tenderness and flavour: the breed of animal _ rare and traditional ones tend to carry more fat and marbling which gives better flavour; correct finishing, to the right conformation and fat cover; stress-free animals at slaughter _ the Airey's have their own private slaughterhouse on the premises; and maturing of meat _ the flavour is enhanced when the meat is left to hang. The shop sells beef, pork, lamb, bacon, ham and also makes its own range of sausages on the premises. The shop is open from 10am to 5pm (Monday); 9am to 5.30pm (Tuesday to Friday), and from 9am to 12.30pm on Saturday.
