Hebridean Meat Boxes
Our Hebridean sheep are slow grown the natural way on the rough grazing of Orkney’s West Mainland. This unique environment, combined with the breed’s hardy nature, produces lean, tender, and deeply flavourful meat.
We offer seasonal meat boxes of hogget (18–24 months) and mutton (24+ months), packed with a variety of cuts and prepared with care. From pasture to plate, we ensure quality, freshness, and respect for the animals.
Supplies are always limited, and each box is prepared to order here on the farm. Whether you’re planning a special meal or stocking the freezer our Hebridean Meat Boxes bring a taste of Orkney straight to your home.
Why Choose Hebridean Meat?
Hebridean hogget and mutton aren’t your everyday meats – they’re something truly special. The breed’s slow growth and natural grazing give the meat a rich, gamey depth of flavour that’s hard to find elsewhere. It’s leaner than many commercial lambs, yet wonderfully tender when cooked slowly.
By choosing our Hebridean Meat Boxes, you’re not only enjoying a delicious, high-quality product, you’re also supporting rare breed conservation, sustainable farming, and small-scale Orkney agriculture. Every bite tells the story of animals raised with respect, on land that’s been cared for over generations.
How We Prepare Your Meat Box
Animal welfare is at the heart of what we do and we never sell our Hebridean sheep through auction. Instead, we transport them ourselves in our own trailer to the nearest abattoir, which is currently in Dingwall, keeping stress to a minimum.
Once processed, the carcasses return to Orkney to be expertly butchered and packed by E Flett Ltd in Stromness. We then assemble each meat box here on the farm, adding the finishing touches before it’s ready for collection.
What’s In The Box
We offer both half and whole boxes prepared to order.
A whole box contains approximately 13–14kg of meat, with cuts that typically include:
- Rolled shoulder
- Leg on the bone
- Chops
- Rib racks
- Mince and/or diced meat
- Shank and/or flank
