Bronfelen Farm Shop

Bronfelen Farm Shop is a small, independent family farm in Cynghordy, Carmarthenshire, nestled among the rolling hills of West Wales. Specialising in pasture-raised Welsh lamb and outdoor-reared pork, the farm offers customers the opportunity to buy quality British meat directly from the people who raise it.

A Family’s Farming Journey

Behind Bronfelen are Joe and Toni, first-generation farmers who met while studying at agricultural college. Originally from Sussex, the couple decided to follow their ambitions and move to Wales in 2020, bringing their flock of sheep with them.

Today, they farm 53 acres of their own land, alongside additional grazing around the local area. Their daughter Frankie is growing up surrounded by farm life, with the family’s sheep, pigs, chickens and dogs all part of everyday life.

Farming is very much a hands-on family affair at Bronfelen. Joe and Toni lamb approximately 180 ewes each year, with their sheep spending much of their lives grazing outdoors. During lambing season, the family spends long hours in the barns caring for the ewes and their newborn lambs.

Their sheep also graze conservation land belonging to the Carbon Community Charity, helping to maintain the countryside through traditional livestock grazing.

Welsh Lamb and Outdoor-Reared Pork

Bronfelen produces a range of home-reared meat, with an emphasis on animal welfare, responsible husbandry and allowing livestock the space and time to grow naturally.

Their grass-fed Welsh lamb is raised on pasture, while their pigs are reared outdoors. The family believes that the quality of the finished product begins with how the animals are treated throughout their lives.

Customers can choose from a selection of traditional cuts and products, including:

• Welsh lamb roasting joints, chops, cutlets, mince and diced lamb
• Pork roasting joints and diced pork
• Traditional pork sausages
• Back bacon, streaky bacon and collar bacon
• Carefully selected lamb and pork meat boxes

The farm also offers meat boxes for families looking to stock their freezers with locally produced British meat.

From Their Farm to Your Table

One of the things that makes Bronfelen different from buying meat at a supermarket is the direct connection between the farmer and the customer.

The animals are raised by Joe and Toni before being taken to the butcher. The meat then returns to the farm, where the family prepares and packages orders themselves.

By selling directly to customers, Bronfelen can keep more of the money from each purchase within the farming business, helping to cover the considerable costs of land, animal feed, veterinary care and the everyday work involved in raising livestock.

It’s a straightforward approach to farming that gives customers a better understanding of where their food comes from, while helping an independent British farm remain sustainable.

Ordering and Delivery

Bronfelen Farm Shop operates primarily online, allowing customers throughout mainland Britain to buy Welsh lamb and pork directly from the family farm.

Although the business doesn’t have a conventional walk-in shop, customers can arrange to collect their orders from the farm. Local delivery is also available.

Orders are generally prepared on a pre-order basis, helping Joe and Toni plan their livestock and avoid unnecessary waste. Depending on availability, customers may need to allow up to three to four weeks for their order.

For nationwide deliveries, the meat is packed using insulated Woolcool packaging made with sheep’s wool, alongside ice packs to help keep everything at a suitable temperature during transit.

More Than Just a Working Farm

During the warmer months, Bronfelen also welcomes visitors looking to experience the Welsh countryside.

The family offers secluded yurt glamping and off-grid camping, giving guests the opportunity to enjoy the surrounding landscape, beautiful views and a taste of life on a working Welsh farm.

It’s another way Joe and Toni have diversified their small farming business while sharing the countryside they love.

Supporting Independent Welsh Farming

At a time when small British farms face rising costs and increasing pressure, businesses like Bronfelen Farm Shop offer an alternative to the supermarket supply chain.

Joe and Toni have built their farm from the ground up, combining their agricultural knowledge with a commitment to animal welfare, traditional farming values and producing food they can be proud of.

Whether you’re looking for Welsh lamb for a Sunday roast, outdoor-reared pork for the family table or a selection of farm-fresh meat for the freezer, Bronfelen Farm Shop offers a chance to buy directly from an independent Welsh farming family.

Every order helps support the people, animals and countryside behind the food.
