About Us
Dalachy Beef and Lamb

Did you know?

Red meat is one of the best food sources of easily absorbed iron3.

A government survey has identified that one in three women is iron deficient.

93% of 16 to 18 year olds consume less than the
recommended intake of iron.

One in five of all children aged between 1 and 4 are iron deficient.

The iron in meat is more easily absorbed than iron in fruit, vegetables, cereals and eggs.

Meat helps the absorption of iron from vegetables and cereals eaten at the same meal.

On south-facing hillsides just outside Aberdour, Fife, overlooking the Firth of Forth, Dalachy Farm has been farmed by the Inglis family for three generations.

“When you buy a steak or a pound of mince from Dalachy we know its history from when it was just a gleam in the bull’s eye to when it lands in your shopping basket.”

Today it is still farmed with the same passion by brothers Tom and Watson Inglis, ably assisted by their wives Wilma and Sheena.

Dalachy is a mixed farm with many arable acres but it is their Aberdeen Angus beef herd and the Dalachy Texel flock that is their true pride.

“The animals are bred from our own prize bull and rams and reared here at Dalachy,” explains Tom, “and so we know their history and provenance throughout their lifecycle”

“Our beef is always hung for at least three weeks before purchase, that’s what makes Dalachy Beef different from mass-produced supermarket fare.”

 

We are members of Quality Meat Scotland who audit us annually. This monitoring ensures that a good health programme is adopted for our livestock.

Beef fact
Beef offers a high level of nutrients compared to calories. The high nutrient density of beef makes it an essential part of low-calorie diets, especially for women with greater iron requirements.

The animals we rear are our passion and we strive to provide the best for you, our customer. The welfare of our livestock is extremely important to us.

Our naturally reared healthy cattle are fed on home-grown cereals and grass. This means that the beef develops a better flavour when hung on the bone before being butchered, vacuum-packed and frozen. This ensures a better taste and more flavour for you to enjoy.
