FAQ's

How long will the meat last?

Packaged meat can last for up to 1 month in the fridge or up to 12 months in the freezer. We recommend buying meat fresh and once per week and as with fresh fruit and vegetables rotating your product mix according to the seasons.

Do you deliver?

Not at this stage, though we have several healthfood stores and food outlets with customers requesting our product. We prefer customers to visit our MeatHall™ and talk with one of our friendly butchers who can advise and give you tips on how best to store, present and cook your Naturez meatz™ purchased from us.

We can however cut to your requirements and deliver sealed packaged meat to one of our Naturez™ healthfood depots upon request.

Is your meat organic?

Natures Beef® is by default “Organic”. All cattle are grazed according to “organic” protocols espoused by the various competing “organic” certifying bodies of which, we at this stage, are not members. We are sceptical of many such Associations and Certifying bodies.

Sadly the term “organic” has become abused and overused. In the past year we have observed the proliferation of advertisements and brochures throughout Northern Rivers selling “Organic Donuts” who are serviced by “Organic Carpenters" and "Organic Plumbers”.

Simply, our farms have used no chemicals since they were first occupied and settled in the 1860’s and 1870’s. Since we introduced cattle in the 1880’s we have used and maintained sustainable and clean farming practices to ensure all our stock and pastures are pure and secure. After all, that is what we have eaten for the past 100 years and why we are alive and well and still here.

As local family farmers we take pride to ensure that the meatz™ we sell, are sourced from locally grazed stock naturally produced, hormone free and grass fed. We have no confined feedlots, no gassing and no water bulking, just plain fresh natural meat.

How is it packed?

Natures Beef® and all Naturezmeatz™ after slaughter are left to hang and age. We cut to order and when requested, we vacuum seal (cryovac) our meatz™ into convenient sized packs for two persons. Our butchers have been trained to cut and package our meatz™ according to our well defined and proven protocols and procedures.

Why does it cost less?

We supply from our paddocks to your plate (www.paddock2plate.net.au). The savings we achieve we pass on, direct to you. Buying from our Direct Factory Outlet (www.dfo.net.au) means great savings for your household.

How do I pay?

You can pay by cash or EFTPOS at our MeatHall™. If collecting from a Naturez™ Healthfood outlet, you can pre-order secured by credit card and/or pay cash on delivery or by direct deposit. Cheques must be posted and cleared before delivery. Please see “Contact Us” prior to sending cheques.
