Hot off the butcher’s block

The guys are busy slicing up our streaky bacon for this week’s special - just $29.99kg! This is proper bacon. 100% New Zealand pork, cured and smoked right here on site in Dairy Flat. It won’t shrivel up to a quarter of its size when you cook it, and it’s not going to fill your pan with water. There’s a reason it’s different from some of the bacon you might find in the supermarket. 100% NZ pork. No imported ingredients. Made right here, by us. Pop into the shop and grab some while it’s on special! #streakybacon #nzpork

CAN YOU BELIEVE WE’RE ALREADY MID-AUGUST? Before we know it, we’ll be heading into November and December - and that means things get absolutely crazy here at the butchery! If you’re wanting to get your homekill booked in before Christmas, we strongly recommend getting your booking in as soon as possible. We don’t want anyone to miss out, and getting those bookings organised early helps us manage the workload and make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible during our busiest time of the year. To make a booking, call or text Tracey on 027 466 3545, email thelocalfarmerltd@gmail.com, or pop into the shop and speak to one of the team. If you’ve got questions about homekill, just get in touch. We’re always happy to help. Don’t leave it until the last minute - get your booking sorted now! #homekill #summer #bbq #paddocktoplate
