Meat from a family-run farm
Northfield Farm has traded at Borough Market since the late 1990s. Situated on the Rutland-Leicestershire border, the farm is run by Jan McCourt together with his sons Dom and Leo. At Borough Market, Northfield’s butchers sell the best seasonal cuts from their own herds of white park and angus cattle, as well as lleyn and border-leicester sheep, along with meat from a long-established list of trusted, like-minded producers. The Northfield team, true artisans, have a wealth of knowledge which they are ready to share, happily advising customers on preparation and cooking techniques to ensure they get the most from their meat.
