What makes Seasalter marshland special ?

Seasalter is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Protection Area (SPA)
It is designated as a Special Protection Area and wetland of international importance under the European Ramsar Convention of Wetlands of International Importance [RAMSAR],
showing how important the area is as part of the North Kent coast freshwater grazing marsh.
It is also a valuable wetland site for wintering and migratory wildfowl and wading birds, including wigeon, teal, redshank and lapwing.

Historically, Seasalter came to prominence as a centre for salt production in the Iron Age Later, the Domesday Book recorded that Seasalter "properly belongs to the kitchen of the Archbishop" [of Canterbury]. In the 18th century, the marshes were drained to create the Seasalter Levels.
The land here is now grazed by our sheep and has recently gained Higher Level Stewardship meaning it meets the highest level of environmental management standards. These practices result in all year round grazing for our sheep without the use of any agriculture chemicals and pesticides on the land.

Why choose Seasalter Lamb ?

Our sheep are born and reared at Seasalter, feeding exclusively from its marshland grasses which contributes to the distinct flavour.
Our grazing pattern which makes this possible is sensitive to both the needs of the sheep and their surrounding habitat.
The lambs are produced locally and sold directly. This has a
beneficial effect on animal welfare and importantly reduces food miles.
The status of Higher Level Stewardship standards means you can be assured that in choosing our lamb you are having a positive impact on the environment.
