The Dorset Game Larder
Opening in October 2007 The Dorset Game Larder at Crabs Farm just outside Blandford sells all types of game from Local Dorset Shoots and then sells through local farm shops, butchers and restaurants, In 2009 The Dorset Game Larder started to make its own sausages and burgers adding to the products available.
If you are looking for something different to serve to the family or friends then why not try game. Nothing is more natural or has more flavour and less fat. We can offer things as simple as sausages to fillets of venison or wild rabbit.
