Our farming families are linked through our founding shareholder meat export companies that process 52 weeks per year providing a security of supply.
These suppliers treasure their land and pastoral heritage and have a commitment to animal welfare, food safety and environmentally sustainable methods of farming. Many are 4th, 5th, and 6th generation caretakers of their family properties.
Livestock is raised as nature intended, being free-range from birth to harvest on a 100% natural diet of pure air, clean air, brighter light, enriched soil and green grass.
Farm practices are controlled and audited to robust Farm Assurance Programmes (FAPs) which enable us to offer product with assurances in terms of origin, traceability, bio-security, animal health and welfare, integrity and authenticity.
These FAPs are NAWAC (i) and UK FAWC (ii) 5 Freedoms compliant and JAS-ANZ (iii) accredited:
(i) National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee
(ii) Farm Animal Welfare Council
(iii) Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand
As an Island Nation in the South Pacific Ocean we are blessed with a unique and special environment in terms of clean air and open blue waters. One of the best locations in the world to source fish and farm outdoors.
All our ocean fish are sourced sustainably from the Pacific Ocean or Tasman Sea while our salmon is farmed in the majestic marine environment and deep waters of coastal New Zealand.
Our chicken products are all farmed locally in New Zealand in a cage free environment where the use of growth hormones is prohibited as is the use of genetic modification. Additionally chickens are farmed in accordance with the ‘Five Freedoms’ principles of animal welfare.
