The Trust’s grazing animals are used to sensitively manage its meadows in order to encourage a greater diversity of wildflowers and wildlife.
All profits from the sale of Parkland Produce will be invested back into maintaining the city’s beautiful and valued parks and landscapes, whether this is helping to create new parks, planting trees and shrubs, maintaining foot paths, providing community events or teaching school children about farming, nature and the environment .
The meat is not only reared locally but also butchered in Milton Keynes and has a very clear provenance at all stages. It can be purchased on-line in convenient chilled boxes of different sizes or an individual box can be tailored to suit personal choice.
David Foster, Chief Executive of The Parks Trust said: “This is a great way for residents and businesses of Milton Keynes to support a genuinely local initiative of ethically produced food. Our cattle graze around 700 acres of land, including the Ouse and Ousel Valley, Shenley Toot, Woughton-On-the-Green and Campbell Park. As all the profit we make will be invested into caring for our parks we hope Parkland Produce will attract customers who value quality food and share a concern for the environment.”
