Our fellowship of Lake District farms - each rooted in regenerative principles - forms the backbone of Parnassus. From upland fells to woodland pastures, our farmers share a commitment to restoring ecosystems and producing food with integrity. Together, we not only supported Parnassus into being but also completed a missing link: giving purpose to our hides, ensuring every part of our animals is valued, and reducing waste. The story of every farm is told through the leather Parnassus creates.
Home to Parnassus founders Claire and Sam Beaumont, Gowbarrow Hall Farm embodies the principles that inspired the brand’s creation. Their regenerative approach restores soil, supports biodiversity, and produces high-welfare livestock. Parnassus was born from their vision to give value and purpose to every animal's life, closing the loop between farm and product.
Ashlack Hall Farm merges farming, food, and hospitality with a regenerative ethos. Their Whitebred Shorthorn and Galloway cattle graze naturally across the Lake District landscape, supporting rare species and soil health. Parnassus collaborates with them to transform each of their cattle hides into something sustainably beautiful.
An organic low-input dairy farm in the South Lakes, Strickley Farm, is a beacon of regenerative agriculture. Their native Dairy Shorthorn cattle graze freely across fell and valley land, restoring biodiversity and soil health. Parnassus partners with them to honour every hide from their cattle and create a circular economy.
Whinpot Farm blends regenerative livestock farming with conservation mentorship. Their Shetland cattle graze diverse pastures, enriching habitats and producing nutrient-rich beef. Parnassus’ partnership with them ensures nothing is wasted from their animals. Their hides reflect a great respect for the Lake District land and communities.
High in the Western Lakes, Howside Farm is part of a pioneering conservation project using native cattle to regenerate wild landscapes. Managed with minimal intervention, the land thrives with growing biodiversity and healthier soils. Parnassus works with Howside Farm to transform their hides into leather that carries the story of restoration.
