The idea to start a business selling our product direct to customers was started by friends and family all saying they don't seem to be able to buy meat which tastes as good as the meat they eat at our home. And then at a barbeque someone actually asked if we had thought of going into business catering and selling direct to customers. This really started us thinking and we began to research the whole process - and so the concept of Pantri Lletty was conceived.
The idea further grew and developed when Geoff had an accident and consequently needed surgery which meant he could not work as "normal" for some months and so there was a need to find less physical work for him. After a lot of research and hard work finalising plans with many meetings - Pantri Lletty was born.
As a small family run farm, we aim to give our animals a healthy, happy stress free life as much as possible working to high husbandry standards. They work hard for us and we work hard for them. We run both a pedigree flock of Lleyn sheep and herd of Limousin cattle, as such we can trace family trees. The fact that we only use a local butcher means that the animals do not have to travel far and so reduces stress and food miles, the butcher also treats the meat as we ask and so our beef can be maturing for up to 3 weeks, allowing flavour and tenderness to develop. Producing our own product means that nothing artificial is added. We believe we have something special to offer people.
We set about working out what we wanted to do and decided it is to offer people a quality product at a fair price and base everything on our own standard of what we would expect if we were paying for a product. We are also proud of where we come from and want to "show the world" that a small valley nestled in North Wales does produce high quality food which can compete with any other part of the world, and so we aim to keep all our suppliers local as well, again reducing food miles and helping to promote freshness. We have a ”made to measure” catering trailer with the best equipment to enable us to offer a range of hot tasty snacks.
Living in the heart of a farming area, the Vale of Clwyd, we also know many more producers who work to the same standards and beliefs as ourselves, both arable and livestock producers - so if we haven't got it we know someone who has!
We hope you enjoy our produce but if you didn't PLEASE tell us. We welcome all comments and suggestions. If our customers are happy, we are happy.
