Dear Higher Hacknell

Just a short email to say how happy we have been with the quality of both the meat and service we have received from you.

We are particular fans of your Lamb and Chicken and wish you continued success in what is difficult times for the organic food industry.

For anyone considering becoming part of the loyalty scheme I would urge them to give it a try. We, as a family, have been part of the loyalty scheme for a number of years and find that Higher hacknell are generous with the free meat they send with your order making taking part in the loyalty sceme more than worthwhile.

keep up the good work.

All the best

Mark

I’ve been buying from Higher Hacknell for almost a year and the loyalty scheme is flexible and generous. I’m able to specify which cuts I prefer and I’m always pleasantly surprised when my monthly box arrives. The loyalty scheme is good value for money and dispels the myth that organic food is too expensive.

Dear Jill
Thanks for enquiring about our loyalty scheme. I think the best thing about it is that we taylor it to suit you and we are very flexible. Anyone who joins the scheme and spends about £100 a month or 6 weeks will receive 10% extra free meat with their order or free delivery whichever suits them. We give you cuts that you like, usually more of what you have already ordered as we don’t want to give you things you don’t like! Some customers tell us what they prefer and so if possible, they get what ‘extras’ they choose.

We know our prices are very competitive and this scheme makes our meat even more affordable. all our meat apart from the pork is home produced, and the pigs come from a local farmer we work with, close to the farm. All the meat is professionally butchered here at our farm butchery by Keith and he is available to talk to you directly about cuts of meat and your preferences.

The other benefits of the scheme are that we will contact you every month either by phone or email (you choose which method you prefer) to check the delivery will be convenient-if you go on holiday or don’t need any one month that’s ok! We keep a record of your orders so you can just say ‘I’ll have the same as usual’ or send us a new order each month. You are not fixed in to having the same thing every month. I’m also here on the phone or email to discuss your order as I find alot of customers like to talk to someone to discuss a particular cut they have difficulty in finding or the thickness of the steaks. We will also store your address, payment and delivery details safely if you want, in order to save you repeating this information each time you order.

The aim of the scheme is to make it like going to your butcher shop down the road where you know who you are buying from and where your meat is reared.

best wishes
JO

I have been buying my meat from Sheepdrove Farm for years, but as they suddenly, this year, were not able to supply fillet steak, I changed to Laverstoke Park Farm. I am happy with their meat, but I am attracted to your loyalty scheme as I spend approx. £175-£200 per month.
