Why Venison is a Fantastic British Meat
Venison is one of the most sustainable meats available in the UK. It’s naturally lean, rich in B vitamins, iron, and high-quality protein. With significantly less fat than beef or pork, venison meat is an excellent option for anyone looking to maintain a balanced diet without compromising on flavour.
Choosing to support sustainable UK farming isn’t about a complete lifestyle change, it’s about a growing awareness that small choices, like buying local venison, can make a big difference. The Venison Company is committed to sustainable farming practices and low-carbon meat production. Whether you're ordering venison mince, venison steaks, or venison burgers, you’ll receive vacuum-packed venison with full quality assurance.
