Farmer Sharp: Building Sustainable Supply Networks

 At Farmer Sharp, I help farm shops and butchers create strong, sustainable supply chains for native and rare breed meats. With decades of hands-on experience, I’ve worked with farmers, chefs, and customers to connect exceptional produce to businesses that value quality and tradition.

I’m not just a consultant—I’ve been where you are. As the founder of a successful wholesale and retail business, I’ve supplied the world’s best restaurants and customers at Borough Market in London with premium Herdwick mutton, Galloway beef, and naturally reared veal. I also collaborated with a cooperative of over 50 Lake District farmers to bring their incredible products to high-value markets.

This experience gives me a unique understanding of what it takes to source, process, and deliver exceptional meat while building a profitable business.

I specialize in helping businesses create reliable supply networks with farmers who rear rare and native breeds. Whether you’re looking for Herdwick lamb, Galloway beef, or other unique products, I can connect you with trusted suppliers committed to ethical and sustainable practices.

Every farm shop and butcher is different. I work with you to:

• Identify opportunities for growth and differentiation.
• Source high-quality products that meet your customers’ expectations.
• Build a brand that celebrates the heritage and flavour of native breeds.

From butchery techniques to customer engagement, I provide practical advice on:

• Maximizing yield and reducing waste.
• Highlighting the unique qualities of native and rare breed meats.
• Training your team to tell the story of your products and build lasting customer relationships.

Today’s customers value authenticity. I’ll help you craft a compelling narrative about your supply chain, celebrating the traditions and heritage behind the meats you sell. This helps build trust and loyalty with your customers.

When I started supplying Herdwick mutton and Galloway beef, it wasn’t just about selling meat—it was about connecting people to something real. My products found their way onto the plates of world-class chefs and into the homes of customers who appreciated quality.

Now, I want to share that knowledge with you. By building strong supply networks and focusing on quality, you can create a business that stands out for all the right reasons.
