Knepp Estate has launched ‘Knepp Wild Range Meat’, a sustainable meat brand from West Sussex. The meat is sourced from low-density, free-roaming cattle, pigs, and deer that are raised on the estate. Knepp advertises protein as the most sustainable way to produce meat, crediting the high-quality condition of the land and the animals. The animals consume no third-party fertilizers or pesticides commonly used in agriculture and live freely in the wild.
Knepp’s animals graze on plants and wildlife instead of protein used in large-scale farms. As a result, ‘Knepp Wild Range Meat’ contains healthier, richer meat that is not oversaturated with harmful chemicals. The meat arrives in recyclable packaging and is frozen to minimize waste.
"Eating meat doesn’t have to be an environmental dilemma. I believe ours is the most sustainable and ethical there is," claims Ned Burrell from Knepp Estate.
