The Buffalo Farm
Brought to you by SRUC alum Steven Mitchell
Steven studied Agriculture at SRUC Edinburgh
Established in 2005 by Steve Mitchell, a sixth-generation farmer at Clentrie Farm, The Buffalo Farm began with a small water buffalo herd, diverging from traditional cattle farming rooted in Mitchell family history dating back to the 1800s.
Originally focusing on meat and burgers at local markets, it has evolved into an acclaimed butchery. With over 500 water buffalo, it boasts Scotland's largest herd.
Ethical practices and lush pastures are central, also yielding award-winning buffalo mozzarella and ice cream.
