FREE-RANGE MEAT

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

About our Free-range meat

Green Connect is proud to offer sustainable and ethical pork and lamb

Our pigs were raised on our permaculture farm in Warrawong, we move them around different areas of the farm. They roam through fresh pastures, feast on leftover produce, live in the sunshine, roll in the mud, and act like animals.

Our animals play an important role on the farm by helping us to manage weeds and pests, regenerate the soil with their manure, and reduce food waste.

They also help us to better utilise our marginal land, diversity our income, create more jobs for former refugees and young people, and teach visitors to our farm about how we can farm animals in more ethical and integrated ways.

What cuts come in the mixed packs?

Can I choose what I get?

Unfortunately not. Our animals have only so many sections that can be made into specific cuts. We want to make sure that the whole animal is appreciated and nothing is wasted so we only sell mixed packs. It also means the different cuts can be shared between all of our customers.

You are welcome to exclude 1 cut that you don't want and list up to 3 that you would prefer and we'll do our best to take these into consideration based on what we have available.

Pricing & Pre-Payment

How is the meat priced?

In setting the price for our free range pork and lamb, we considered both the market value for similar products as well as what it actually costs us to ethically and sustainably raise or pigs and lambs. As a not-for-profit social enterprise dedicated to growing fair food and creating jobs for former refugees and young people, we are committed to paying our staff award wages for the hours they work.

Do I need to pre-pay?

Yes. Prepayment is needed for us to reserve your order for you.

Pick up Time & Location

Our next free-range pork will be available for pick-up between Monday 2 December to Wednesday 4 December from Meadow Street Meats, Shop 2/104 Meadow St, Tarrawanna.

Meat can also be frozen for later pick-up, if needed.

Delivery between Coledale and Kiama may be possible for a fee. To enquire about this option, get in touch with our Fair Food Coordinator at fairfood@green-connect.com.au and we’ll see what we can do.

How big is a 10kg pack?

A 10kg pack fits in 25 cubic centimetres – about a third of a freezer compartment of an average household fridge-freezer.
