WHAT WE DO
WHAT WE DO
WILD Venison provides high quality free range venison to individual customers, shops, pubs and restuarants. Depending on a customers preference we can provide whole skinned carcasses, joints or individual cuts. All of our joints and cuts are supplied vacuum packed and labelled with information on the species of the animal, date it was culled, weight of the meat and the cut. Meat can be supplied either frozen or fresh. Further information is available on our price list.
WHY IS VENISON A SUSTAINABLE CHOICE?
WHY IS VENISON A SUSTAINABLE CHOICE?
Wild sourced UK Venison is a highly sustainable choice. In the UK we have thriving deer populations living in the wild that due to having no natural predators need to be managed to ensure they stay healthy and are kept in balance with their environment. In addition, venison is also widely farmed.
We also have extremely high standards in relation to deer management and food safety, as well as legal protections which ensure that our wild deer are humanely managed.
Consumers can therefore be confident that venison, whether it comes managed wild populations or farms, is a highly sustainable and ethical source of meat. By choosing venison you are actively supporting the future of both our wild and farmed deer.
WHY IS VENISON A HEALTH CHOICE?
WHY IS VENISON A HEALTH CHOICE?
Venison is a great source of protein, incredibly low in fat, and its levels of saturated fat are much lower than in other red meats like beef. It also contains minerals that are good for our health, including iron, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc as well as vitamins B6 and B12, riboflavin, niacin, and thiamine. It is one of the healthiest meats on the market.
In the past consumers may have been concerned about traces of lead from shot. They need not be as suppliers take particular care to ensure that no meat contains lead. Indeed, many now only sell venison shot with alternatives to lead. If you have any concerns we suggest you talk to your venison supplier.
THE LEGAL STUFF
THE LEGAL STUFF
Harvesting and selling wild venison is done with the Landowner’s consent, and within the relevant closed seasons for deer.
All of our meat is sold with traceability data recorded on the label in accordance with EU Regulation 178/2002.
WILD Venison is registered with Buckinghamshire County Council as a food business under Regulation (EC) No. 852/2004.
