About Us

Located on Rose and Crown Road, Swavesey, Ben and Lydia Baker and family at Rosegate Farm are well known locally, having produced raspberries and strawberries here for over 50 years. We are passionate about sustainable farming – low food miles and selling to the local community were part of our business from the very beginning.

In 2010 the youngest member of the family, David, joined the family business and began rearing traditional breed pigs, sheep and cattle to expand the range of fresh local food available to our customers.

Our fresh meat proved so popular that in 2011 we built a butchery on the farm so that we can provide our customers with the exact cuts of meat they require.

People tell us they appreciate the flavour, freshness and quality of our home grown, farm fresh produce. Building on the principle that happy animals result in tasty produce, we ensure that all our animals are kept to the highest standards of welfare.

Our Fruit

Our delicious strawberries and raspberries are all grown here on the farm, picked daily to ensure they are fresh and ready to eat. Usually the strawberry season extends from the middle of May through until October. Freshly picked strawberries are available from the farm throughout this period and we are open for “Pick Your Own” on Saturdays throughout June. Please check the latest news section of the website for more details of ‘PYO’ dates.

Freshly picked raspberries usually become available in early June and are here through until September.

Larger quantities of both strawberries and raspberries are usually available for functions/jam/freezing although we highly recommend giving us at least a weeks notice so we can be sure we can cater for your exact order.

Plums are also usually available during August.

Our Pork

All our pork, sausages, bacon and gammon come from traditional breed pigs raised here at Rosegate Farm.  Always check the “latest” section of our website to find out when the next batch will be available!

We currently have a mix of Hampshire, Large White and Oxford Sandy and Black pigs, chosen for their flavour and quality lean meat.

Our pigs enjoy the most natural life we can give them, spending the summer rooting around the orchards, especially enjoying windfall plums and apples. They then move inside to spacious, straw bedded pens for the winter for protection from the coldest weather.

We transport the pigs ourselves to a small local abattoir, before collecting the meat ready for it to be butchered, cured or turned into sausages here at the farm!

Our Beef

The beef available from the Rosegate Farm butchery comes primarily from our own herd. As demand for quality local beef has been so high we occasionally buy in beef animals from 2 other farms we work closely with whilst building up our own herd as quickly as we can. Our aim is that before long all the beef we sell will have been born and reared on the farm, but building up a high quality herd capable of meeting demand takes time! The beef is all either Hereford, Aberdeen Angus or a Hereford/Angus cross, both breeds are known for their fantastic quality beef.

Our beef cattle spend the summer months grazing traditional pastures in and around the village, coming into barns on the farm through the worst of the winter weather and eating our own hay, silage and straw.

We transport them ourselves to the abattoir, giving the animal the best treatment we can to minimise stress. The beef is then hung for at least 21 days in our butchery on the farm before it becomes available directly to you for the perfect weekend roast!

Our Lamb

Entirely from our own flock, our lambs graze pastures in and around Swavesey, Boxworth and Over. Where possible, the lambs are completely grass fed and are available in the butchery throughout the whole year.

Occasionally we  have Mutton available but as this is infrequent we would encourage you to get in touch with us via email if you are particularly interested.
