OUR STORY

Hot off the butcher’s block

Our first 61 cattle are now wearing their halter collars!

So begins our little venture into 21st-century farming and virtual fencing.

For the next few days, it’ll mean daily visits to check on them, make sure everyone is behaving themselves and, most importantly, that they’re learning how this whole virtual fence business works.

They should hopefully be trained within a few days… although knowing cattle, we’re not counting our chickens just yet! But how cool is it that we can see exactly where they are in real time….and see who is getting a bit too close to their boundary!

Juicy, butter chicken sausages freshly made today! You’ll find them in the fridge tomorrow. These are relatively new to our sausage range and we would love to hear what you think! Do they stay or nay?

Sick of seeing the price of meat going up and up?

Do you live on land, raise your own livestock, and have been thinking about doing your own homekill?

There are some pretty big advantages to filling your freezer with an animal you’ve raised yourself. You already own the animal, so you’re paying for the slaughter and processing rather than buying the meat at retail prices - and you know exactly where that animal has come from and how it has been raised.

We can organise the whole process for you.

Our professional slaughterman comes to you, handles the animal respectfully and efficiently, and we take all the waste away. The carcass is then brought back to our Dairy Flat chiller where it is hung for the appropriate amount of time before being expertly processed by our team.

You simply fill out one of our cut sheets online or in store, telling us exactly how you want your meat cut and packed, and we take care of the rest.

And the end result? Your freezer full of quality meat from an animal you raised yourself.

If you’ve got questions about how homekill works, we’re more than happy to talk you through the process.

But a little heads-up - we’re already halfway through September, and the end of the year is fast approaching. Our homekill spaces for November and December are already becoming limited.

If you’re thinking about booking in, now is the time to get in touch so you don’t miss out.

Call or text us on 027 466 3545 and we’ll get you sorted.

Slow cooked short ribs for dinner tonight.

I put these in the oven this morning, covered, at a very low 110°C before heading off to work. I’ll admit, when I ended up being out longer than expected, I was slightly worried I might come home to short rib jerky!

But I needn’t have worried. When I finally got home, the cast iron dish was full of beautiful juices and the short ribs were pretty much done.

I took the lid off, turned the heat up a little, added a drizzle of honey over the top and gave them another 30 minutes to brown up.

These were dusted with Rum and Que Rib Rocker seasoning, then served simply with mashed kumara and green beans.

Nothing fancy. Just good, slow cooked beef.

The meat really does speak for itself.

Incredible quality meat. Highly recommend their steaks which melt in your mouth, so tender! Their sausages and bacon are divine, too.

I was even impressed by their beef mince which has very little fat and isn’t “gristly” like supermarket mince.

The meat packs are amazing value for money, too.

We refuse to buy from the supermarket now, how could we ever go back after trying the best? We simply can’t.

The staff are very friendly and accommodating, also. Why are you still reading? Go in and see them!

Such great quality meat! We keep coming back for the chicken, sirloin steaks and venison. Oh and whilst you’re at it, their Biltong is also very nice 😊
