Tynedale Goat Kid does what it says on the tin. It produces top quality, tender goat kid meat in County Down. Ian and Ann Wilson and their family now own the business which was established by William and Sarah Haire in 2011.
The third generation family farm is convenient to both Belfast and Lisburn – handy for the growing band of chefs who are using this succulent lean meat that’s low in cholesterol and high in iron.
As both Ian and Ann come from farming backgrounds they have a wealth of experience in the Beef, Sheep and Dairy sectors combined with strong business attributes.
Tynedale Goat Kid is all about sustainable farming. Male goat kids are unwanted by the local dairy goat industry. They are reared for 6 to 8 months and then sent to be processed. The meat is produced to the highest standards of animal husbandry and traceability.
Something very tasty is cooking up in Tyrone and it’s all thanks to Northern Ireland’s
first Good Food Circle. Now in its 13th year, it consistently delivers a winning recipe of
first class dining experiences from its members. There are lots of happy customers
who’ve been munching on signature dishes using the likes of Cookstown bacon and
Quinfresh vegetables.
Restaurants who join are regularly and rigorously examined . There are now 26 in the
Circle and many are family owned. From this Flavour of Tyrone developed a County
Tyrone food trail highlighting the approved Good Food Circle Restaurants, key local
food producers such as Cloughbane, Fivemiletown Creamery, farmers markets, farm
shops and main visitor attractions as well as increasing visibility of the food sector in
the County. What a great idea!
