Frequently Asked Questions for Natural Burgers
Are your turkey burgers free range?
Yes, all of our poultry are completely free range. Once our turkey chicks have feathered up they are moved outside where they spend the summer ranging freely on grassy hillsides, actively developing strong bones and muscles. When we say 'properly' free-range we mean it! Our bronze turkeys have plenty of space in which to thrive, they are in a healthy outdoor environment where they build up natural immunity and can freely exhibit all their natural instincts including dust-bathing, displaying and calling to their flock - all making a magnificent sight and contributing to an unmatched taste and texture.
Do you make your own burgers?
All of our burgers are made by our very own team of passionate butchers. This allows us to control each and every aspect of production, and ensure the products are the very best quality, for the ultimate eating experience.
IS ALL YOUR BEEF GRASS FED AND GRASS FINISHED?
Yes, all of our beef, lamb and mutton is 100% grass fed and grass finished. Our cattle, lambs and mutton sheep only consume forage and mother's milk for their entire lives. We simply do not believe in feeding them anything else.
DO YOU USE HORMONES IN YOUR MEAT?
We do not use hormones in our meat. It is a common misconception that hormones are used in British meat. Using growth hormones in meat production has been banned in the EU since 1989. Currently, the UK has a ban on both producing and importing hormone treated meat, which means no British farmer (no matter the standards) is able to use hormones in the production of their meat. However, there is pressure on the UK Government to lower their standards and allow imports from countries such as US and Australia, meaning hormone-treated meat could be available on our shelves. Regardless of changes to trade deals and agricultural policy, we will never, ever use hormones in Pipers Farm meat.
DO YOU REAR ALL THE MEAT AT PIPERS FARM?
Pipers Farm is 55 acres of beautiful permanent pasture with deep hedgerows. In addition to the livestock reared at Pipers Farm HQ we also work with 45 incredible farms who farm in a likeminded manner and produce meat to our exacting standards.
