ABOUT US

Temple Farm is a family farm based on the edge of the Somerset Levels specialising in Free Range Pork Beef and Lamb. It is about 100 acres –comparatively small by today’s terms. And is run by Andrew and Judith Denning with a lot of help from their four children. The farm has been in the family for over 100 years during which time it has seen a great many changes but has always been a traditional livestock farm. A bed and breakfast and self-catering lodge are also run along side the farm as another stream of income.

Free Range Meat from Chedzoy in Somerset

With farm incomes being eroded by middle men we have decided to concentrate on selling our produce – free range meat, juice and preserves from the farm direct to the public which we have been doing very successfully for the past two years. All our animals are reared free range to high welfare standards and live outside for a minimum of nine months per year – some all year round. We also have several orchards which have never been sprayed or fertilized from which we press our own apple juice.

Because we are a small farm and we don’t source meat anywhere else we don’t have fresh meat every week although we try to at the present and its not often that we have two types of meat at the same time – Christmas being the exception, when we have everything. In essence as trade grows we will have fresh more frequently – we usually try to have it ready for the weekend and generally that’s when we’re around(Friday & Saturday). For those who can call in to the farm frozen meat is readily available – please ring first if you are making a special trip mid week as the shop is not manned at all times because we are only small.
