Ron is a European trained chef, specialising in preservative free, nitrate free great meat products.
He believes in better sausages and in hanging cattle to age for 14 days. You can taste the difference.
We would love to hear from you.

"Can you show me how to kill and process my own?" a question we get asked regularly, so here is the answer: "Yes!"
Come and join Ron in a hands on workshop on how to process your own poultry at home. Spaces are limited

Is your freezer looking like this, full to the brim?
Or does it need topping up before the Christmas rush starts?

We need your help!

One of our past times is to process donated meat into mince which we then pass on to our local churches to feed those in our community who really need it.
Have you got an animal sitting in a paddock which can be put to this good cause?
We'd love to hear from you!

We will submit our opinion on this, for sure.
Homekill can be about the finest meat you can feed to your family. Ideally grass raised and not medicated unless needed, then shot while happily grazing. No stressful trucking, no unneeded meds, happy animal- dead animal .
However, potential consumers of the meat need to take responsibility and ask all the questions of the farmer, visit the farm and have a relationship of trust to protect themselves from buying into an animal that might not be well.
Yes, as homekill service providers we do check the quality of the meat visually while cutting it up, but we don't have a magic glass ball that lets us know all of what this animal might have been exposed to.
Buy local, know your farmer, go visit them, ask questions and pay them a fair price for the amazing meat they raise.

Regulations on who may consume homekill and recreational catch may be due for an update.

Have an animal that needs processing?
We just had a cancellation this coming week, so there's space in the fridge for hanging a few sheep, deer or another cattle beast.
Get in touch!
