The time has come…we are very excited to FINALLY offer to the public our certified organic, pasture-raised, Black Angus beef to the public.
We will only be offering this once a year…so make sure you don’t miss out! Clear your freezers people – make room! There is no minimum order.
For those that don’t know their way around a cow…see below for a visual of beef cuts…

Before we talk prices, we’d like to share our philosophy. We believe in small farms and we believe in organic farming. We don’t listen to people when they say, “It won’t work, you’ll go broke, you can’t compete with the big guys, it is just too much hard slog”. It does work, and we are proof that it is working. The very fact that you are reading this and contemplating buying from us is proof that it is working. Organic agriculture is vital to the health of the community and the planet. You know this. Insofar as this is true, buying direct from the farmer is vital to the health of agriculture and to small farms. Simple. So…when we set our prices, we look at what you would be asked to pay if you walked through the sliding doors at the supermarket – the big two. The duopoly. Then we attempt to, and more than often do, match this price. Everyone has a choice between conventional and organic and between supermarkets and direct from producer…we don’t want price to stand in the way of you making this important choice. We’ll make money, we’ll be alright. So if the price were the same, why wouldn’t you buy organic? ‘Nuff philosophy, more meat talk…

We will be unable to provide you with an exact cost of your order until the morning of pickup, as we will not know the weight of your order until we pick it up from the butcher. We will not require any payment until this time.
Pickup locations are Foster, South Gippsland and North Coburg – you will need to be willing to pick up from either of these locations on a TBA Saturday morning/afternoon in one to two months (it is not us, it is the calves that dictate this!). We will see where the majority of you are who have ordered and we may be able to organise another drop-off point, but we are unsure at this point.
An aside: There are a few people who have pre-ordered lamb…you will need to consider how much room you will have in your freezer…at present, we are unsure of the exact date the lambs will be ready…this is farming, particularly when the animals are exclusively pasture-fed…
Comment below, PM us, or call me (Sally: 0404 490 035; Colin: 0414 912 137) to order/talk.
