J J Mann & Co
J J Mann & Co is a 70 year old family farming partnership based on the Gloucestershire/Oxfordshire borders; we have been organic for 12 years producing highest quality pasture fed beef currently supplying a high-end High Street retailer. Additionally, the spring wheat goes into the organic flour market for local bakers with the malting barley supplying a Norfolk maltster. A small apiary thrives with the bees feeding on the organic flower rich meadows, pollen and nectar plantings and spectacular gardens.
Mother and son doing well!
Farming in the Cotswolds is a joy especially when organic and able to produce the most delicious and succulent grass-fed, extensively reared beef. 40 Aberdeen Angus suckler cows graze across the water meadows bordering the River Leach and the flower-rich pastures supported by the Countryside Stewardship Higher Tier scheme, producing strong and healthy calves which grow on for a full 2 ½ years for real flavour.
With an expanding family of grand-children we are looking to their future and are keen to do all we can to enhance the prospects for their generation. Currently, with our third generation leading the way, we are aiming to achieve as light a carbon foot-print as possible. With roof and field solar PV providing green electricity and a wood chip boiler heating the cottages, house, offices and Oxleaze Barn, the virtuous circle is almost completed by the purity of the borehole water that supplies all of us with ice-cold Cotswold filtered water.
