Chalk Down Farm

Cooper Foods has launched a new wholesale meat brand called ‘Chalk Down Farm’. The new brand consolidates the fact that Cooper Foods are already one of the premium wholesale butchers and preferred catering meat supplier for many Southern counties, including Hampshire, Wiltshire, Berkshire, Surrey, Dorset, Somerset, Devon, Oxfordshire, and Gloucestershire.

The Chalk Down Farm brand will cover carefully selected UK beef, chicken and lamb products sold by Cooper Foods. This includes premium beef burgers in addition to popular beef joints and steaks. For several years Cooper Foods have been producing Beef Burgers from a 50/50 mix of both beef Rib cap and Beef Chuck Roll.

Rib Cap has the fat content of the burger, which is particularly sweet, whilst the Chuck Roll is the lean element which is not only soft and succulent but has no sinew or tough gristle.

With the introduction of the Chalk Down Farm brand, Cooper Foods will now only make burgers that have been made from 100% aged, under thirty-month Steer or Heifer Beef. Seasoned with just salt and pepper, Chalk Down Farm has created a new burger that is exceptional in both flavour and texture and will suit the most discerning menu.

Every brand has a story to tell and the Chalk Down Farm story starts with tradition and of fifty years of expertise. Chalk Down Farm has selected ‘Connoisseurs Choice Beef’ as it’s source of beef. Our supplier has always focused on quality not only selecting the size, weight and conformation of the cattle but also ensuring that the preparation and knife skills are still adhered to with consistency in mind. All the beef is under thirty-months old and is either Steer or Heifer. The beef is then transported to our modern purpose-built facilities in the middle of the county of Hampshire to be then aged for 28 days in our Himalayan Salt Chamber.

After the ageing process is completed, our own in-house butchers, process the meat into the various cuts of meat and burgers that our customers order.

The Chalk Down Farm brand also includes the strict measures we take to ensure we supply to our customers quality and consistency of our UK Lamb. The farms, breeds and supply chain we use ensure that we buy locally using a local abattoir and therefore reducing food miles. Quality is measured by weight of approximately 20 kilos, a fat class of 3L or 3H and conformation of U or R. Cooper Foods Butchery Department also goes one step further and then hangs our lamb in a Himalayan Salt Ageing Chamber for 5-7 days to help the meat tenderise and gain more flavour before it is then cut into the main joints and portions for our customers. Lamb leg, Shoulder, Barnsley Chops, Loin Chops all bear the Chalk Down Farm logo. 

A selection of Chicken at Cooper Foods is also branded as Chalk Down Farm as it is UK sourced and focuses on suppliers that work in conjunction with a small number of British growers in Suffolk ensuring quality, consistency and welfare standards are adhered to by the farmers. We offer UK skinless and boneless chicken fillet and also Whole and Half Chickens.
