Exmoor Venison was founded by Scott Cartwright and Benjamin Harding through a shared passion for the countryside, responsible wildlife management, and exceptional food.
Between us, we have spent more than 35 years working across deer management, butchery, meat processing, and rural industries throughout the UK and overseas. From the hills of Exmoor and Scottish estates to HomeKill operations in New Zealand and meat industries in Australia and France, our careers have provided experience across every stage of the journey from field to plate.
Despite taking different paths, we arrived at the same conclusion: wild venison is one of the most honest, sustainable, and underappreciated foods available when managed and processed properly.
Today, Benji leads the deer management side of the business, working closely with landowners, farmers, and estates to ensure deer populations are managed responsibly. Scott oversees processing and butchery, applying over two decades of experience to ensure every carcass is handled with care and transformed into premium products of the highest quality.
Together, we manage the entire journey from landscape to plate. Producing fully traceable wild venison with a genuine connection to the land it comes from.
Because for us, Exmoor Venison isn’t simply about selling meat. It’s about respecting the animal, supporting the countryside, and producing exceptional food with purpose.
