Welcome to the Fen Farm Venison website
We hope you like it and find it easy to navigate and we would love your feedback to ensure we keep it as user-friendly as possible – we always get infuriated by sites where you cannot find what you want!
We aim to give you as much information About Us as possible – it is important that you understand our background as well as what is happening now.
This is a very exciting time for us, as we hope to increase the mail order side of the business for those that wish to buy venison online and really embrace all the opportunities through social media as well as through our website.
We hope you enjoy the journey.
01 WHY CHOOSE VENISON?
If you enjoy a healthy eating lifestyle then choosing venison makes total sense. Venison has become very popular for the health conscious consumer, as apart from being very tasty it is low in fat and cholesterol and high in protein and iron. So not only is it delicious, it is very healthy too.
02 WHERE TO FIND US
If you are unable to visit our shop in Horbling Fen, near Billingborough you will be able to find us at various shows and local farmers’ markets including, Sleaford, Lincoln, Grantham, Oakham and more. Note that our shop is only open when we are there, so it is best to call in advance, if you are planning to visit us.
03 BUY VENISON ONLINE
We appreciate that not all of our customers are able to visit our shop or one of our farmers’ markets or seasonal shows. We are therefore able to offer a reliable nationwide mail order service for those customers who do not live within our catchment area and wish to buy venison online.
04 OUR CARAVAN PARK
We are privileged to live in this beautiful part of south Lincolnshire and would love to share this with you. So why not visit us with your caravan in tow and stay a few days. Apart from viewing our beautiful red deer you are only 30 minutes from the historical cathedral city of Lincoln.
