FRESH meats and ready-meals producer Cloughbane Farm in Co Tyrone says it has seen both both its local and export business grow significant during the covid lockdown.

And it has reported online orders for its products coming from as far afield as the US and Australia.

“The new orders are different in that they have been placed on our website by people overseas wishing to send our products to family members in Northern Ireland during this difficult time,” Cloughbane Farm managing director Lorna Robinson said.

She added: “We're delighted we are able to help out and support families who are missing one another and ensuring everyone gets a taste of home!

“Since the start of the pandemic we have seen our online sales soar with lots of customers availing of our special offers – the most popular lines have been our sirloin steaks, lean steak mince and family meal deal pack.”

Cloughbane Farm Foods was established by Lorna and Sam Robinson and their sons in 2002.

Sam runs the family’s 180-acre livestock farm and the progressive business is now among the most successful and progressive farm diversification businesses in Northern Ireland.

As well as beef, the farm raises lamb and free-range eggs, and also sources high quality meat from other local farmers.

Its portfolio of ready meals are also available from major supermarkets and convenience stores across the north.
