Culture of game
The stark reality of what we consume can be an emotive issue for some, not least the children and adults we interact with when delivering our successful Beyond the Farm Gate education programme.
Integral to this project is a complete honesty about how and where game food is managed and consumed as a healthy, lean, natural food source.

The education of the public as to what constitutes seasonal, healthy, sustainable food must continue – feather, fur, fin and all.
