The best lamb chops I have ever tasted. Heavenly. I couldn't believe how lovely they were. I cannot eat lamb from anywhere else now. Sausages were superb and all meat stays the same size after cook... See more

Meat was very good quality, but delivery service is terrible. Delayed by two days, damaged package, had to reorder and chase it. It was a hassle.

Craig Farm Religious/Halal Slaughter Concerns

Craig Farm has acknowledged but not responded to my email 2 Oct 2025 concerning my recent order, as follows:

"Dear Graig Farm,

I regret having to raise my concerns about the manner in which your animals may have been slaughtered to produce the items in my order:

The 4 burgers and mincemeat were from slaughterhouse 2100: Dawn Carnaby Abattoir Bridlington (aka Dundia Carnaby) a division of Dawn Meats. This slaughterhouse also delivers religious/halal slaughtered meat - rib, steak and mince - to Cosco Bracknell. It appears that slaughterhouse 5106: Dunbia Cardington Bedford was also involved in producing my mincemeat and therefore as for Dawn Carnaby also following religious/halal slaughter practices.
The 4 lamb chops were from slaughterhouse 7176: 2 Sisters Red Meat Ltd (trading as Merryn Foods) Merthyr Tydfil. Presumably this company is part of the 2 Sisters Food Group based in Scunthorpe which, with Lidl, in 2023 was implicated in an animal abuse scandal. The 2 Sisters Group is also involved in the widespread production of religious/halal slaughtered meat for the likes of Banham Poultry, Bernard Matthews and others. Furthermore, Merryn Foods supply both Tesco and M&S with religiously slaughtered/halal “Finest Lamb” and Topside Joints.
The 8 sausages and bacon were from slaughter house 4102: A H Griffiths Craven Arms Shropshire which is listed under the Halal Monitoring Services’ (HMS’) Red Meat Slaughterhouses EEC Numbers. The question is: why are HMS monitoring A H Griffiths? Likewise, Capestone Organic Poultry Ltd (slaughterhouse 7161), which slaughtered my chicken, is also listed under the HMS' Poultry Slaughterhouses EEC Numbers. However, in this case Capestone claim that although in the past they were involved in the packaging of Halal poultry, not its slaughter, this stopped some time ago; Capestone is therefore now seeking to have its name removed from the HMS list. Despite this, I think their previous link to religious/halal slaughter methods is despicable given its barbaric nature.
Finally, of course, as slaughterhouse 7191, you yourselves were involved in the slaughter required for and preparation of all the items in my order.

To be frank, as a long time customer of yours, I am astounded and saddened by your support for and use of the religious/Halal slaughter industry. You obviously truly care for the animals you breed and grow so why on earth would you expose and subject them to such abominable and indescribable cruelty? I know this disgusting industry is widespread - apparently 60-70% of supermarket meat is now religious/halal slaughtered (a national disgrace) - but there are still traditional, British abattoirs out there which are humane, ethical and caring. The question is: why aren’t you exclusively supporting them?

Further, my response to the reply from Craig Farm to my review is as follows:

I am appalled by the widespread religious/Halal slaughter taking place in this country and now you also appearing to be part of the problem.

Concerning AH Griffiths, you omit to explain why, if they do not carry-out religious/Halal slaughter, they are monitored by the Halal Monitoring Services?

Dawn Meats, Dunbia, 2 Sisters, which you use, all carry out religious/halal slaughter which has led to 60-70% of meat in supermarkets and many other outlets now being Halal. Ignoring this is also why you are part of the problem.

Stunning. From a legal point of view, the stun is completely irrelevant. “Stun" hides a multitude of sins - a 5 second electric shock is a stun as is a bolt. Stunned Halal: before being cut, the sheep or cattle are alive, fully recoverable and could walk back into the field. And this quote from the FSA 2024 Slaughter Sector Survey: "There are also a number of red-meat operators who stun animals after the slaughter i.e. they slaughter the animal and then apply a stun afterwards to minimise the period the animal may be conscious after the cut.”

According to this survey approx 200 million poultry, 80K cattle, 9 million sheep/goats (and 0 pigs) were Halal slaughtered in 2024.

Your claim that “ … none of the abattoirs we use practice slaughter by knife" is simply not true! You use Dawn Meats and 2 Sisters (Merryn Foods) who both carry out religious/halal slaughter, i. e., using inhumane methods such as a knife.

You have my email evidence that Dawn Meats supply Cosco Bracknell with Halal mince and steak; and that Merryn Foods supply Halal beef to Aldi.

Religious slaughter for non-Muslims and non-Jews is illegal.

Perhaps you don’t take as much “great care in selecting [your] abattoirs" as you should?

Until you stop using abattoirs that carry out this barbarism and stop being in denial about it, as are many supermarkets and other outlets, you will remain part of the problem.

Reply from Graigfarm

Dear William,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns regarding the slaughtering practices for the meat in your recent order. I apologize for the delay in my response.

I understand your apprehension, and I want to reassure you of our commitment to humane and ethical practices. All animals are slaughtered in licensed premises, and we take great care in selecting our abattoirs .

Regarding your specific points:
All meat is processed on the farm in our own facilities however we do not slaughter here so therefore use abattoirs
AH Griffiths Slaughjter 95% of all the lamb we sell last week was the first lambs this year that were not slaughtered in AH Griffiths and all the pigs are slaughthered in AH Griffiths and cattle however we do by in various cuts of beef where carcase balance become a problem.

AH Griffiths: I can confirm that AH Griffiths does not have any Halal influence in their slaughtering process. I personally visit the facility and know the slaughtermen, who are all local.
Stunning Practices: All cattle and Lambs are stunned via a bolt or electrical current, and none of the abattoirs we use practice slaughter by knife. This is against our standards. It's a common misconception that all Halal-registered abattoirs slaughter animals without pre-stunning, but this is not the case for our suppliers.
Supplier Checks: I have previously vetted all our abattoirs and have recently requested updated information to ensure their practices align with our values.
Yes there are few abattoirs that do not use humane slaughtering. but I can assure you we do not use them. The abattoirs generally are rather small and only supply their own Halal butchers.

As a farmer, my utmost concern is that the produce we provide to our customers is never compromised in any way, including the welfare of the animals.

Thank you again for bringing this important matter to my attention.

Sincerely,
Jonathan Rees

Excellent service, most delicious tasty produce. I am glad that I found Graig Farm.

My deliveries are always a day earlier than expected and everything is beautifully packed with lots of cold ice packing. Always a smooth transaction. Helpful with queries and I like the monthly updates we receive from Jonathan. I look forward to placing my next order. Thanks.

Parcel arrived as arranged

Parcel arrived as arranged, on time.
Meat has proven to be good quality.
Could do with clearer information labels on individual meat parcels. As in perhaps larger writing and not stained by travel moisture from ice packaging.
All round, happy customer.
