Frequently asked questions

Our beef and lamb are raised right here on Mangaroa's regenerative pastures. After professional slaughter, the carcasses come back to us and our local crew handles all the butchery and processing. Shorter chain, more care, fresher meat.

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 farm shop to see what is in the cabinet, or check our online shop.

We offer both. Fresh cuts are available in-store when they come through from processing. We also have frozen options for convenience and to reduce waste. Ask in the shop or check the product listings online.

Yes. We take expressions of interest for whole animals, half animals, and custom bulk orders. You can choose butchered into standard cuts or collect the carcass to butcher yourself. Whole lamb starts from approximately $350-450 butchered. Side of beef pricing varies by weight. Register your interest and we will be in touch to discuss timing and availability.

Fresh meat is available during regular farm shop opening hours. The selection changes week to week based on the processing schedule. Follow us on social media or sign up to our email list to stay in the loop.

We currently offer beef and lamb, both raised on our regenerative pastures in Mangaroa Valley.

Mangaroa Farms practises regenerative agriculture — growing food in harmony with nature. We use virtual fencing to manage grazing, cover crops to build soil, and systems that produce more with fewer inputs. Our beef and lamb are pasture-raised on open paddocks with plenty of space and good feed. The same people who manage the land also handle the butchery.

We can ship butchered orders within New Zealand. Unbutchered carcasses are local pickup only. Let us know your preference on the bulk order form and we will work out the best option.

Every cut comes from animals raised right here on Mangaroa Farms, 108 Whitemans Valley Road, Upper Hutt. Rob manages the farm and the butchery — the same person who raises the animals prepares the cuts. You can visit the farm, see the paddocks, and meet the team.
