What this is

Meat from a farm that focuses on nutritional value. Beef and lamb raised alongside the Mangaroa river, by people who have deep connection to the land. Then processed right here locally, not shipped through an anonymous supply chain.

We pride ourselves on prime honest cuts from a small farm outside of Wellington. You can drive past the paddock where your dinner was raised, and meet the people who handled it. That's the promise of local food.

Mangaroa Farms on-farm butchery — Rob and the local crew preparing cuts

Locally processed

On-farm butchery.

Professional slaughter happens through Preston's Foods, a trusted part of the chain we've worked with for years. Then the carcasses come home, where Rob and the local crew handle all butchery and processing.

The same hands, paddock to plate

Practicalities

Common questions.

What does "home-processed" mean?
Our beef and lamb are raised on Mangaroa's regenerative pastures in the valley. After professional slaughter, the carcasses come home to our local crew who handle all the butchery and processing. Shorter chain, more care, fresher meat.
What cuts are available?
Standard retail cuts: steaks, mince, sausages, chops, roasts, and more. The range varies week to week depending on what has been processed. Drop in to the shop to see what's in stock, or check online for current availability.
How do I order online?
Browse our online shop, add the cuts you want to your cart, and check out in one go. At checkout choose frozen delivery by NZ Post (North Island urban addresses) or free farm-shop pickup.
Can I order a whole lamb or side of beef?
Yes. We take expressions of interest for whole animals, half animals, and custom bulk orders. Pricing is worked out individually based on the animal's weight and the cuts you choose, and we confirm it with you before anything is locked in. Register your interest and we'll be in touch.
How should I store my meat at home?
Online orders arrive frozen — put them straight in the freezer. Each pack shows the date it was frozen; kept frozen, it's at its best within about six months. Thaw in the fridge (not on the bench), allowing ~24 hours for larger cuts. Once thawed and kept in the fridge, cook whole cuts — steaks, roasts, chops — within 3-5 days, and mince or sausages within 1-2 days. Thawed in the fridge? It's safe to refreeze — you may just notice a slight change in texture. Fresh cuts bought in the farm shop should be kept at or below 4°C and used within 3-5 days, or frozen on the day you collect.
How far ahead should I order a whole lamb or side of beef?
Bulk orders depend on the processing schedule, so timing varies. As a rough guide, allow 2-4 weeks from the day you confirm to pickup. For a specific date, get in touch as early as you can and we will line it up.
Can I get meat shipped to me?
Yes — we deliver frozen, butchered orders across the North Island. Everything we ship is frozen for the journey; fresh cuts are available in person at the farm shop. Unbutchered carcasses are local pickup only. Let us know your preference on the bulk order form and we will work out the best option.
Are your sausages gluten-free? What is in them?
Sausage recipes vary by batch. Ingredients are listed on the product label in the shop. If you have a specific allergy or dietary need, ask the staff or get in touch before ordering. We're happy to confirm what is in the batch you are buying.
Where exactly does the meat come from?
Every cut comes from animals raised on Mangaroa Farms, 29 Mangaroa Valley Road, Upper Hutt. You can visit the farm, see the paddocks, and meet the team. Rob manages both the farm and the butchery.
What if something I ordered online is not available?
We try to keep listings accurate, but the range changes week to week. If a cut you ordered is not available when we go to fulfil it, we will be in touch. You can swap, refund the difference, or hold for the next batch.
