Cloughbane Farm’s delivery service goes global

The company’s ‘farm to doorstep delivery service’ has taken off, with online orders for its products from across the globe, including the US and Australia.

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

“We are 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 Covid-19 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.

“Our award-winning range of raw meat and ready meals can be ordered through our website and delivered direct to any home in Northern Ireland. We also offer a completely contactless service with orders placed and paid for online. The food can be left on the doorstep to collect,” continued Lorna.

As well as beef, the farm raises lamb and free-range eggs and also sources high quality meat from other local farmers. Cloughbane Farm’s portfolio of ready meals are also available from major supermarkets and convenience stores across Northern Ireland.

Cloughbane’s range of ready meals includes both the Cloughbane ‘Little Farm’ & Veggi ranges. The Little Farm products were specifically designed to meet the nutritional needs of a growing child, with the range including four meals, Mince & Veggie Mash, Chicken & Veggie Mash, Mac & Cheese and a Veggie Bake.

The Veggi range, two of which are also vegan friendly, was created following a £200k investment in new product development by Cloughbane and includes Three Bean Casserole, Vegetable Lasagne, Vegetable Pasta Bake and Northern Ireland Food & Drink Association (NIFDA) award-winning Spicy Lentil & Root Vegetable Casserole.

Lorna added: “Our ethos is focused on home cooking and rooted in family values. We pride ourselves on bringing our passion for good food made with fresh, quality ingredients to the creation of every Cloughbane Farm product. In my other guise as ‘Granny Lorna’ it was so important for me to provide my grandchildren with wholesome nutritious meals – and this is how the idea for the Little Farm products evolved.

“Consumer habits continue to change, and particularly demand for plant-based meal solutions. Innovation is paramount at Cloughbane Farm, which is why we developed the Veggi range. We are very proud of our product ranges and we’re confident customers will love them as much as we do!”
