Welcome To
West Country Water Buffalo
Lower Oakley Farm near the village of Chilthorne Domer, between Yeovil and Ilchester, is home to a herd of 250 water buffalo. These gentle giants, descended from Asian Water Buffalo, produce flavoursome meat. Recent studies suggesting health benefits can be found here.
A full range of products is available such as fillet, sirloin and rump steaks, topside and silverside, braising steak and delicious peppered steaks.
Buy from farmers' markets at Axbridge, Poundbury, Frome, Martock, Sherborne, Crewkerne and Montacute House or call into the farm shop and see the buffalo for yourself.
Background.
Having ‘nagging’ doubts about your meat?
Here at West Country Water Buffalo, we have been following the unfolding "horsemeat" drama. When we first began selling our buffalo meat it was our aim to supply a local, high quality product fed on our own grass and silage, with no concentrates. Hung, matured, cut and processed on our farm, by our own traditional butcher, Barry. We do not have any of our products made off-farm and we also strictly control where you can purchase our fantastic award winning meat. No faceless supermarkets, but local and personal farmers markets, our own small on-farm shop and the select few local pubs.
We always have been, as a family, the breeders, growers, butchers and sellers of our own water buffalo meat. Come and meet and talk to us at a farmers market or at the farm shop.
