Paddock to plate is a common way to describe the process of farmers selling their products direct-to-consumer.
In the case of Tingle Ridge Farm and many other farms, this involves sending their pasture-raised lambs to the nearest abattoir for processing (custom kill in this instance, where it's only a small number for an individual business), and then they receive the carcass back and have it packed by a local butcher, ready to be delivered by the farmers themselves, straight to the consumer.
It's a great system, and one that is growing in popularity with both growers and consumers for a number of reasons.
Just over a week ago, the only abattoir in the South West Region that is capable of custom kills, which these farmers (some for more than 15 years) have been using so they can sell their meat directly, ended this service.
The repercussions are enormous, and very debilitating.
Patrick and Chloe join me to explain the situation, and what's happening on the ground at the moment.
