Run by Jenna and Bob, Ashlack Hall Farm grew out of their return to Bobby’s family land after years in professional kitchens. First, opening their own restaurant, then turning to the land to grow, raise, and cook sustainable food.
Set in the southern Lake District, Ashlack Hall Farm is both a working farm and restaurant shaped by regenerative principles. Jenna and Bob raise native breeds - Whitebred Shorthorns and Galloways - chosen for their hardiness and ecological fit. Grazed rotationally across Ashlack and neighbouring land, these herds nurture biodiversity and revive at-risk genetics. By farming this way, they’re rebuilding soils, inviting back rare wildlife, and supplying meat that has been raised responsibly. Ashlack’s partnership with Parnassus helps deepen their commitment to giving purpose to every part of their animals, creating a circular, traceable economy.
“We’re trying to farm in a way that lets everything - grass, cattle, birds - find its own rhythm again.”
