Award-winning US butcher, Adam Danforth & the value of older animals
There's a growing appreciation for the superior welfare and flavour outcomes of eating older animals with slower-growing genetics.
Guaranteed provenance. Full transparency. No exceptions.
We're a traditional, whole-animal butchery sourcing whole, pasture-raised animals directly from regenerative farms that are building healthy soil, plants and animals. We visit every farm so we can give you chapter and verse about where your meat comes from and how it lived and died. We practice the traditional craft of dry-aging our meat and you can buy online, pick up from our shop or join us for a butchery class.
We see ourselves as part of a mutually-supportive relationship between the farmer, us and our customers. Each of us plays a vital, active role in supporting the others and promoting better land, animal and human welfare.
Going against the grain: fire, drought and grain-feeding at Gundooee
Despite the prolonged and horrific dry climatic conditions across the state and beyond, Gundooee Organics has been fairing relatively well in regards providing quality and organically-certified feed for the cattle.
Never bare the earth: news from our farms
Guided by the principle of never baring the earth and thereby retaining topsoil and moisture, regeneratively-managed farms are generally much more resilient in the face of extreme weather and these farmers don't end up facing the dreadful crises portrayed by the media of farmers forced to shoot skeletal animals and facing pastures reduced to dust.
