Pasture to Plate Safari

A celebration of Knepp’s Wild Range meat

Our free-roaming herds of cattle, pigs, ponies, red and fallow deer at Knepp play a vital role in restoring the soil and creating new habitat for wildlife. While our aim with rewilding is to allow nature to take the driving seat, we do intervene in one respect. Without apex predators, we need to limit the animals to a number that works best for biodiversity. This provides us with organic, free-roaming, pasture-fed meat – to our minds, the healthiest, most ethical meat there is. It is also, unsurprisingly, delicious. We are proud to showcase Knepp Wild Range meat in our new café and restaurant, the Wilding Kitchen, in our shop and online.

Your safari begins in the new Wilding Kitchen in a beautiful, converted Sussex barn, where you’ll be welcomed with tea and coffee and an introduction to the day from our expert guide. Then head out in safari vehicles to meet our free-roaming animals and Pat, our Head Stockman who will explain the unique way we care for our livestock in a rewilded system. Ian, our Head Butcher, will then show you our sustainable, state-of-the-art, waste-free butchery, to see how we process our sustainable meat with respect and precision, with a chance to sample some of our Wild Range charcuterie.

Then it is back to the award-winning Wilding Kitchen to enjoy a delicious lunch celebrating our Wild Range ethical meat prepared by our Head Chef and their team.

There may be a little walking involved on the safari, so do bring appropriate footwear and dress for the weather. Vegans and vegetarians are warmly welcomed, with an option not to tour the butchery – though we hope they would find it interesting and reassuring.
