750 Years of Family Heritage
The Owton family have farmed the land at Chalcroft for over 750 years and over the last 40 years Owton’s Traditional Family Butchers has established itself as one of finest butchers and farm shop proprietors in the country.
The Owton family have been farming on Chalcroft Farm for over 750 years with the earliest known records dating back to 1257. Rob Owton’s father traded cattle and wholesale meat to trade in the 1920’s. In the 1960’s Rob was faced with the difficult decision between farming and butchery. He chose to work with his father in his wholesale meat business as farming would have meant working 7 days a week.
