Our Farms & Suppliers

In 2023, The Organic Cure was founded from a mutual passion for charcuterie between renowned chef Daniel Gavriilidis and organic farmers Harry Boglione & Emily Perry of Devon's Haye Farm. Combining their talents, they craft small-batch, organic charcuterie sourced from Haye Farm's 90 acres of pasture. Here, the farm's organic, high-welfare livestock of beef, sheep, pigs, and chickens graze alongside fruit and vegetable gardens, yielding the finest ingredients for their exceptional range of cured meats.
