Fresh Meat

"I HAD to let you know how amazing your sausages were that we just ate for tea. The whole family loved them - you've got a new regular customer for sure. I don't usually eat sausages, I'm a bit suspicious about what's in them and the strange pastey texture makes me shudder but yours, they were just a completely different story! Jeez they were good, the taste, the texture they looked and tasted like actual meat, and the sage, yum! knowing the pigs are taken care of was an absolute bonus. Thank you for your craftsmanship and for farming those pigs in an ethical way. You are doing a perfect job! I'll pop down to the markets next Saturday and pick up some more."

Traditional methodsWe take all our stock to MAF approved abattoirs for slaughter and inspection, then the carcasses are delivered to our butchery by carrier. Pork is processed immediately but beef and sheep are aged in our chiller for up to three weeks to improve flavor and tenderness. The meat is then processed into prime cuts, mince, smallgoods and a range of cured products. We like to use traditional methods of processing and use a high proportion of meat plus a binder (breadcrumbs or gluten-free alternatives) and only herbs, spices, fruit, wine or beer in our sausages. Although we do not produce a list of sausages we make as it changes regularly according to the meat we are using, the season and our imagination, we usually have up to 20 varieties of pork sausages in stock as well as 3 or 4 beef and 3 or 4 lamb.

Our Specialty Sausages are hand made using only natural herbs and spices. We do not use premixes.

No preservativesOur bacon is dry cured with natural salt and raw sugar. It is then washed and air dried before being cold smoked with Oak. The hams are wet cured, dried and then cold smoked with oak. Most are sold at around Christmas time but they can be ordered at any time of year as a half or whole leg.
We aim to sell meat with an identifiable origin, produced from stock that have been raised in a free-range system. We can tell you exactly what went into our products and believe that you should recognize every ingredient. We are happy to make batches of sausages for those with special requirements by request. We do not use nitrates, msg, preservatives (other than natural salt) or any pre-mixes in any of our products. We are sorry but we do not courier our meat products. |

"I thought I would let you know how highly regarded your ham was by all who had the privilege of tasting it (no easy task as it was under the 24 hour guard of a ferocious husband who realised every slice consumed by guest or relative was one less to be relished by him). Declared best ever by one and all."
