Ms Diane C Best

Diane Best is one of Jersey’s largest sheep farmers and Genuine Jersey’s only lamb producer. Diane farms at Le Pavillon in St Martin and expanded her flock in 2004 to introduce a new bloodline into the Island and improve the quality of locally-reared lamb. The flock of almost 100 sheep includes Hampshire Down, Shropshire and Clun Forest breeds.

Diane began sheep farming more than 20 years ago and is one of a handful of small lamb producers in Jersey. The free range flock is reared traditionally without growth promoters or routine antibiotics and is grazed on pasture clear of herbicides, pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Their welfare is of prime importance.

Since joining the Association, Diane has built up a loyal customer base selling whole lambs, prepared to customer's specific requirements, directs from the farm and from The Country Butcher's counter in Rondels Farm Shop.
