Blue Tin Produce is an award winning small family-run free range farm in Ipsden rearing fantastic quality, rare breed meats using natural, traditional methods.

Lovingly produced, locally provided

We rear and sell free range Gloucester Old Spot pork and Dexter beef. In addition our range includes handmade sausages, smoked and unsmoked bacon, gammons, burgers, locally smoked salmon, and local cheeses from 5 surrounding creameries plus all the accompaniments.

We have handmade chocolates, freshly made cakes, locally roasted coffee and many other goodies available fresh, chilled, frozen or ambient. All sourced locally and all from small producers like ourselves, some of whom have been supplying us since we opened in 2009.

How it all began…

In 2002, we set about rearing our own meat to supply ourselves, our families and friends as an experiment after becoming increasingly frustrated with the quality of the meat available from the supermarkets. Jed had worked within farming and on the farm itself for 25 years and had always had a keen interest in rearing his own animals, in particular pigs.

We bought 10 piglets and 6 chickens and on one very poignant Sunday morning we put out the first box of eggs at the farm gate, to return later that evening to find that they had sold. It was at this point that Jed uttered the immortal words… “we should open a farm shop!”
