Named as Britain’s Online Butcher of the Year in 2020, Farmison & Co is on a mission for the nation to eat better meat. Since their founding ten years ago, Farmison & Co has specialised in heritage British breeds, such as Saddleback, Highland, and Swaledale, sourced from a network of small, free range farms in the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors.
Cut by Farmison & Co blends the firm’s outstanding quality meat with a retail convenience that’s hard to beat.
You’re welcome to walk in spontaneously and shop from their extensive range or click & collect. Every click & collect order is freshly prepared and packaged to order, ready for collection.
Why choose the Farmison & Co Range?
As much an experience as a shop, Cut is designed to showcase the crown jewels of Yorkshire heritage breed meat and allow customers to select from Farmison & Co’s extensive online range and collect within an hour of placing an order.
Whether you’re rustling up a roast, fancy a quick and easy meal or firing up a last-minute barbecue, this meat will be the talk of the table. The luscious quality simply speaks for itself, especially when paired with chef-prepared blends of spices, seasonings, and marinades.
Farmison & Co’s game-changing ‘saucepan ready™’ range will transform your mealtimes. Ready in minutes, these pouches are the easy way to eat better meat, and just the ticket for pairing with cupboard staples. There are four dishes to choose from; traditional lamb hotpot, authentic chilli con carne, creamy tikka masala, and rich & full bodied beef ragu. Each boasts generous chunks of free range meat.
Cut will be open seven days a week, from 9am to 6pm Monday to Saturday and 9.30am-12 noon on Sundays, and a knowledgeable Master Butcher and staff will be on hand to give tips and advice on how to prepare meat and follow recipes devised by Farmison & Co’s in-house Michelin starred chef, Jeff Baker. We understand that trying a new cut can be daunting, so Farmison & Co go the extra mile to help.

A year after Argos closed its doors on the Marshall Way retail park in Ripon, it is to re-open in the city centre.
The former café in Sainsbury’s, which shut last year, is being transformed in readiness for the relocation.
Signs at the supermarket say Argos will be opening in March – 12 months after the first covid lockdown saw the last customers served in the Marshall Way premises.
The former Argos standalone store in Marshall Way, Ripon
Ripon is following a strategy adopted by the company in towns and cities across the UK, including Harrogate, where standalone stores have been closed and moved to share floorspace within Sainsbury’s supermarkets.
A spokesperson for Argos confirmed the company’s employees, who previously worked at Marshall Way and were temporarily redeployed to other parts of the business, will be employed at the new Ripon store.
The spokesperson added:
“We announced last year that any standalone Argos store which has not reopened since March will remain closed permanently.
“We have also shared plans to open 350 more Argos stores in Sainsbury’s and Argos collection points in supermarkets and convenience stores by March 2024.
Last June, following the first lockdown, the catalogue company re-opened 145 standalone stores across the UK – but Ripon was not among them.

In a statement at the time, Argos chief executive Simon Roberts said:
“Our business has changed enormously.
“We want to be very careful as we move to the next phase.”
