Butcher becomes baker as Pipers Farm launches new range of pies

Devon-based online butcher, Pipers Farm has launched a new range of Handmade Pies this week, bringing wholesome lunches, hearty snacks and simple suppers for the whole family to enjoy. With crisp buttery pastry and the finest natural ingredients, including generous chunks of moreish slow-grown and grass fed meat, which has been traditionally farmed in harmony with nature, these rustic pies are now available for home delivery nationwide.

Taking inspiration from classic recipes, Pipers Farm has created four regular fillings, including a Steak and Otter Ale Pie crammed with its nutritious and award-winning Red Ruby beef and root vegetables, immersed in local ale gravy. Slow grown and grass fed for their entire lives, the native Red Ruby cattle build up a natural immunity from their mothers’ milk without the need for antibiotics, before playing a vital role in the cyclical maintenance of the land, grazing the pasture while nurturing the soil and providing food and habitats for insects in the process.

Other recipes make use of hand-picked cuts from across the farm, including the Chicken and Ham Pie which combines two of Pipers Farm’s most celebrated meats. The Butter Chicken Pie puts poultry centre stage, championing the Properly Free Range Chicken that provided the cornerstone for Pipers Farm when it was founded over 30 years ago, while the Pumpkin, Goat’s Cheese and Spinach Pie delivers a hearty vegetarian option that makes the most of autumnal abundance.

Suitable for home freezing, the Handmade Pies are best cooked from frozen and take a total of 40 minutes to cook. Served warm with seasonal vegetables or cooled overnight for the next day’s lunchbox, the new pies from Pipers Farm are designed with modern family life in mind.

Pipers Farm’s entire range of Handmade Pies are all available to order from www.pipersfarm.com, RRP £3.95.
