The flock is run on our smallholding on the West Wales coast at the southern end of Cardigan Bay, and there we aim to produce flavoursome and ethically-reared free-range meat with minimal intervention from chemicals, drugs and growth promoters.

Our closed flock of Lleyn-Welsh Mule crosses is non-intensively raised and allowed to mature on natural pasture as nature intended, giving lean but succulent quality mutton which is as tasty as a stand-alone roast as it is in a casserole or tagine.

Our ewes are excellent mothers who turn out chunky, well fleshed lambs, which mature naturally on grass into tasty, yet tender mutton. We also slaughter some of our flock earlier as hogget and lamb.

Like many other small producers, we began producing a wide range of vegetables, jams, chutneys, sauces, breads, free range eggs and lamb for ourselves in the spirit of self-sufficiency. But as neighbours, family and friends began to taste our produce and asked whether we could supply them too, we started to realise that we could share this with others - hence Heolas Fawr Mutton, Hogget and Lamb.
