Ethical Meat Sourcing
We partner directly with Australian regenerative farms to source pasture-raised livestock. Our rigorous selection process ensures animals live outdoors, express natural behaviours, and receive chemical-free feed. By avoiding feedlots and prioritising heritage breeds, we support biodiversity while delivering meat with superior nutritional value and flavour.
Whole Animal Butchery
Our traditional butchery approach utilises entire carcasses, minimising waste and maximising value. Skilled butchers dry-age prime cuts for up to seven weeks to enhance tenderness and flavour. We offer custom cuts while maintaining strict quality control through our short supply chains and whole-body procurement practices.
Sustainable Farming Partnerships
We collaborate with farmers practicing soil-restorative methods like rotational grazing and natural fertilisation. These partnerships ensure livestock contribute to ecosystem health while maintaining strict animal welfare standards. Over 70% of our suppliers hold biodynamic or organic certifications, with all adhering to our ethical sourcing guidelines.
Home Delivery Services
Order fresh, ethically sourced meat for next-day delivery across Sydney. Our temperature-controlled packaging uses recycled materials and compostable liners to maintain freshness while reducing environmental impact. Customers can select from a rotating range of pasture-raised beef, lamb, pork, and poultry products.
Butchery Classes
Learn traditional butchery techniques and whole-animal utilisation in our hands-on classes. Expert instructors demonstrate knife skills, meat preparation, and cooking methods that highlight our products' quality. Courses cover topics from basic cuts to advanced charcuterie making, with a focus on reducing food waste.
Questions
What makes your meat different from supermarket products?
Our meat comes from pasture-raised animals on regenerative farms with no synthetic chemicals. We use whole-animal butchery and dry-ageing to enhance quality, with full traceability from farm to table.
Do you deliver outside Sydney?
While our primary delivery area covers Sydney, we occasionally service regional New South Wales locations. Check our website for current delivery zones and minimum order requirements.
How should I store your meat products?
Keep refrigerated at 0-4°C and consume by the use-by date. For extended storage, freeze products in their original packaging for up to 6 months without quality loss.
Are your farming practices certified?
Over 70% of our farms hold Demeter Biodynamic or Certified Organic accreditation. All suppliers meet our strict ethical standards for animal welfare and environmental stewardship, regardless of formal certification.

Yes, our Marrickville and Waverley stores welcome walk-in customers. Shop hours are 9am-5pm Monday to Saturday, with knowledgeable staff available to discuss product origins and preparation tips.

First time placing an online order a few days ago and will definitely be back. Selection, prices and quality are wonderful. So pleased with the variation and quality of the produce, and extremely happy about the supply chains. I really feel like this place has a holistic view and cares for the customer, their business and what they do. How refreshing! Delivery was fast and updates were the best I've seen (and i do a lot of online shopping!).

Extremely disappointed and shocked that a paying customer would be welcomed in such a discriminatory manner. I have a health condition and therefore have a mask exemption. Met with a sign that read that Im not even allowed inside and must somehow know whats inside for me to order while I stand outside. Then Im told they dont accept cash. What kind of business owner do you think you are to refuse legal tender and only accept card? Im having a conversation with my solicitor tomorrow. This is absolutely unacceptable and amounts to medical discrimination. I will be sharing my experience

Just a shout out during lockdown to thank you for taking the COVID-19 precautions so seriously. Compulsory masks, sanitiser, limit on numbers in store, QR code check-in, contactless payment, no capitulating to people who want you to bend the rules - AND offering online shopping and a delivery service for those uncomfortable abiding by those rules. You couldn't possibly do

This exceptional, high quality providore nestled in an industrial complex in Marrickville is not your average butcher, you will be spoilt for choice by the finest selection of ethically sourced meats straight from local farms, I've tried the Sommerlad Chicken, Pastured Pork and Veal from here and they've all been exceptional. Highly recommended if you want to treat yourself to the best quality without compromise.
