Organic lamb 10kg (pre-order)

We are honoured to be offering you lamb from Wharerata Farm in Pirinoa, South Wairarapa - a certified organic farm. 

THE FARM

This beautiful farm in South Wairarapa has been certified organic since 1990.

For almost 100 years, the Atkinson's have been stewards of the land, leaving the land healthier than when they found it. The sheep, beef and deer farm is managed by Sophie Atkinson, who is a fourth-generation farmer.

Not only is farming in Sophie's blood, it is also in her heart - she is an incredibly passionate farmer.  In 2021, Wharerata Farm won the NZDFA Next Generation Award, recognising their excellence in environmental and social performance. 

THE LAMBS

The lambs are grown organically; they roam on beautiful pastures, enjoying a diversity of plant species in their diet - up to 14 different species. The farm is one of the few certified organic sheep farms in the North Island. 

THE MEAT 

This meat pack is for half a lamb, which is approx. 10 - 10.5kg of meat. 

The cuts in the pack will be a selection of the following, to the weight of at least 10kg:

1 x rolled roast

1 x shoulder

1 x 6 loin chops 

1 x 8 rib pack

1 x lamb shanks

1 x leg roast 

The total price for the meat pack is $280.

For New Zealand grass fed, organic lamb this is a really good deal!

For this meat to have the organic certification sticker on it, it needs to be butchered in a butchery with organic certification. However, there is no organic butchery close to the Wairarapa. So to avoid unnecessary food miles, the meat will be butchered locally at Homegrown Butchery in Masterton. This means it won't have the organic certification label on the meat, but the sheep have been raised 100% organically on certified organic land and the butchering process in Masterton doesn’t affect this. 

THE DETAILS 

The pre-ordering will run until the 28th Feb, then once we know final numbers, the sheep will be booked in for processing in the first week of March.

We will then deliver the frozen meat packs to your doors in Wellington, Hutt Valley, Porirua and the Wairarapa for no extra delivery cost on the 12th or 13th March (final date to be confirmed the week before).

Meat is not available for delivery to the Kapiti Coast or for pick up from Bin Inn at this time.

You will also either need to either be home to accept the delivery, or alternatively leave a suitable size chilly bin(s) with ice packs out for your lamb to be left in. We will be in contact the week of delivery to confirm an approximate delivery time with you.
