Yes, you get all the cuts listed in the pack. You cannot pick and choose which cuts you want from each pack. You can order extra mince and sausages if desired. These are at the market rate per kg, not the pack rate.

Yes, every packet of beef is labelled exactly as at the farmers’ market, with the name of the cut and the weight etc. It is fully butchered and packed – the steaks are usually two per bag, slices (eg topside, round, blade) one per bag, one roast per bag (1-1.5kg) mince 500 – 700gms per bag, thin sausages 10 per pack, thick sausages 6 per pack and so on.

Yes. We freeze all our beef at the butcher as soon as it is cut up. It is packed in bags, sealed, weighed and labelled. And then put straight into the freezer room at the butchers and frozen down quickly. This retains the quality of the meat and takes the load off domestic freezers that are designed to store frozen goods – not freeze large quantities quickly. The meat is always stored and transported frozen. The heavy duty bags protect from freezer burn and maintain the quality of the beef. Mince and sausages are packed in standard freezer bags.

When you are ready to use some meat, remove from the freezer, remove from the plastic bag and thaw in the fridge for 1 – 2 days depending on size. We are usually not that organized and thaw on the kitchen bench! The mince and sausages have no preservatives added so best to use these immediately on thawing. You can thaw faster if you choose, but slower methods are best to maintain tenderness.

In a freezer running at -18 degrees, the beef will last at least until the use by date on the label, which is 12 months from the date of processing. Mince and sausages have a shorter life (9 and 6 months respectively).

You’ve got beef on hand when you need it. If you don’t regularly go to the farmers market you needn’t run out and have to resort to “supermarket meat”!

It’s also a little cheaper.

Those without the freezer space and who can’t/don’t want to share a pack with someone else.

Those who want to use only a few cuts of beef and don’t want to change that. To take full advantage of a bulk pack, you have to be prepared to match the cooking method to the type of cut, otherwise, you might be disappointed with the results. See our website for information on the different cuts of beef and recipes.

Even better, send in a recipe and we might add it to the collection (with your first name)!
