If you are thinking of bringing in an animal for processing, now is a good time. We have room!
Cattlebeast, sheep, lamb, pig, deer, goat and duck are some we’ve had recently.

I will be putting all our processing costs up soon but need to get time for that😆

Happy Friday everyone!
Today we have some porterhouse as ribeye is sadly not in stock until Monday now. Porterhouse is an amazing steak to cook and the flavour is excellent.

We also have:
• Mince $24/kg (pure nz ground beef)
• Saveloys $25/kg Made in the traditional way on site
• gluten free beef sausages $25/kg We can’t tell the difference in taste between these and the non gluten free ones!

There is also RTCP chipolatas, a pack of pre-cooked sausages for the BBQ, pre-sliced Wild Smokehouse Salami, cut salami sticks, Wild Smokehouse venison bier sticks, honey dew bacon and more!
Open until 4pm ❤️

Since we bought Matanaka Meats from Rochelle there have been some interesting questions and I wanted to answer some of them over time, here.
The first one is something that never occurred to me!

Q. Are you going to expand your range, don’t you just sell homekill meat?
A. Ummm no! We do not ever sell homekill meat as this is not something you can do without owning the animals and having the meat slaughtered and certified in the correct facility.
We buy in certified meat from suppliers at this point and that is the only meat that is sold to the public ☺️

As a dual operator we work under an RMP plan and work with MPI to make sure all processes are correct.
We are able to process your homekill or game animals as long as they do not have skins/heads/hooves.
We’re happy to work with you on what type of cuts and smallgoods you want.

Our wild venison is from a certified supplier and it features in this weeks salamis! Wed-Fri we are open until 4pm!
