Farmer Angus
Angus McIntosh is Farmer Angus. He grew up on a cattle ranch in Kwa-Zulu Natal and studied Management Accounting at Stellenbosch University, before stockbroking for Goldman Sachs in London for just over four years.
Declining the offer of a promotion, he left his job and moved to South Africa, where he built a clay home. With inspiration from various people along the way, he eventually became a biodynamic student, grass farmer and carbon sequestrator.
Farmer Angus is one of two grass fed, pasture-reared beef producers in the Western Cape- it is the only butchery in the country that does not add nitrates or gluten to the meat.
