"We are passionate and dedicated to reengaging children and families with the origins of their food"
Darren Sherwood, Founder of Exmoor Game School
Ethical
At Exmoor Game School, we believe in the ethical treatment of animals. We work with local farmers and gamekeepers to ensure that our game meat is sourced responsibly and sustainably.
Sustainable
Sustainability is at the core of our business. We believe in using resources responsibly and minimising waste wherever possible. Our goal is to educate our community on the importance of sustainable consumption practices.
Nutritious
Game meat is a highly nutritious and sustainable source of protein. We believe in promoting the health benefits of game meat and its role in a balanced and healthy diet.
Our Mission
At The Exmoor Game School CIC, we are a passionate and dedicated team committed to engaging children and families with the origins of their food. A not-for-profit company, we believe in the ethical, sustainable, and nutritious value of game meat, and want to share our enthusiasm for responsible consumption with as many people as possible.
Our mission is to promote the intrinsic value of food, emphasising its ethical and nutritional significance over mere cost. With our roots in education and training, we have seen first-hand the positive effect that connecting children with the food they eat has on wellbeing as well as fostering a sense of empowerment and achievement. We strive to foster a deeper connection between individuals and the food they consume, enriching lives and promoting sustainable practices for generations to come.
Our Initiatives
Community Cow
Cattle play a vital role cattle play as habitat creators and converting low-quality forage into high-quality protein for human consumption. This initiative gives children hands-on experience and provides high quality beef to vulnerable people.
Pheasant Friday
The "Pheasant Friday" project is a new, unique project that aims to normalise game birds as a genuinely local, seasonal, and nutritionally dense food source. Children are given hands-on experience in preparing & cooking local birds.
Teaching the Value of Food
There is a lot of talk in the media about "Eating less meat, but of a higher quality" this typically means, more expensive, but we don't think this needs to be the case. With the skills you'll learn on our courses you'll be empowered to make informed choices about the meat you eat and where it comes from - whether that's breaking down a venison haunch or going to your local butcher and buying a hogget neck joint to make a delicious casserole.
If you're looking for a fun and educational experience, look no further than our deer butchery and group courses! Plus, with the money we make on these courses, we provide free game preparation and cooking classes to children and families in the local area...what's not to like?
Get in touch today or check out our social media, we'd love to chat.
