Leather - Aberdeen Angus Veg Tanned Hide
In 2021 we decide to create our own Fernhill Farm verified regenerative leather and we are so delighted with the results as in 2022 we received our EOV verified regenerative status from Savory Institute
This hide was from a barren cow, born here amongst our home-bred herd of Aberdeen Angus Cattle and her mother and daughters are still here with us - this means such a lot to Andy, who secretly adores his cattle as much as his many flocks of sheep
Working with Robson and Grady, our hide was collected from the abattoir and salted by Jen here on the farm, before being taken to Thomas Ware and Son in Bristol, our local veg tannery. Something happened along its route and ended up being taken over to Leicester, not ideal but still offering us a small carbon footprint when compared to most leather we see, which has no known origin
To be able to offer fully traceable quality veg tanned leather is a dream come true and we hope you like the results as much as we do - here are some ideas we have and you can also buy this leather for your own craft projects too
The Journal and Sheaths are made to order, along with leather straps - please contact us directly to place your order
The Body pouch doesn’t come with a strap - as seen in the photos
