BW Carr Farms, a cornerstone of the Sussex agricultural community located in the picturesque Ovingdean near Brighton, is proud to announce their commitment to producing high-quality, grass-fed, antibiotic-free Sussex beef on the lush Sussex Downs. Run by the dedicated couple Ben and Abbie, the farm stands as a testament to sustainable farming practices and the importance of understanding the origins of our food.
Since taking over the management of Ovingdean Grange Farm in late 2014, Ben and Abbie have worked tirelessly to build a business that not only respects the land and its history but also prioritises animal welfare and the production of wholesome, natural products. Ben, with his deep roots in the agricultural community of Sussex, brings a wealth of experience and a passion for farming that was cultivated from a young age at his family's farm in Saltdean. Abbie, although not originally from a farming background, shares an equal passion for animal welfare and the countryside, drawing from her experiences growing up around animals and her studies in animal care.
Ben Carr, from BW Carr Farms, shared his thoughts on their mission, "At the heart of everything we do is a deep-seated belief in responsible, sustainable farming. We want our customers to feel a connection to the land and to understand the journey from field to fork. It's about more than just beef; it's about community, sustainability, and a shared commitment to quality."
Ovingdean Grange Farm's journey from a supportive role in the family's dairy business to its current focus on rearing calves for beef production is a story of adaptation, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to quality and ethical practices. The transition away from dairy in 2011 marked the beginning of a new chapter for the farm, one that Ben and Abbie have embraced wholeheartedly.
In the face of a changing agricultural landscape, BW Carr Farms has innovated and expanded, adding new dimensions to their business, such as direct sales of their homegrown meat to local customers who are increasingly interested in the provenance and ethical standards of their food. This direct connection with the community reflects Ben and Abbie's belief in transparency and the importance of educating the public about sustainable farming practices.
Excitingly, BW Carr Farms is set to enhance its offerings by providing customers with the ability to purchase Sussex beef directly from its website soon. With a range of beef cuts, 10kg beef boxes and even the ever-popular Sussex tomahawk steak available to order, the farm is inviting everyone to experience the taste and quality of locally sourced, sustainably raised beef. This initiative is not only about bringing farm-fresh products to your table but also about fostering a stronger connection between local farms and the community they serve. By choosing to buy local, you support the sustainability of farms within your community, contribute to the local economy, and make a conscious decision towards a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle.
Ovingdean Grange Farm is not only a working farm but also a space for the public to connect with the countryside and learn about modern farming. The farm's open approach and commitment to stewardship of the land under the tenancy of WD Carr Partnership exemplify the potential for harmonious coexistence between agricultural businesses and the communities they serve.
As BW Carr Farms looks to the future, Ben and Abbie are excited to continue their work, producing exceptional grass-fed, antibiotic-free Sussex beef in harmony with the environment. They invite the community to join them in celebrating the beauty and bounty of Sussex and to share in the fruits of their labor, grounded in respect for the land, the animals, and the people they feed.
