Who we are
We believe that times are changing. Business is no longer just about buying and selling – at least not for us. Meat is what we know, and it’s what we love. That’s why we’re putting all our time and energy into helping as many people as we can, not to buy as much meat as possible, but to buy meat which satisfies the needs of today and tomorrow for taste, fairness, sustainability, and profitability. Fifty-two weeks per year, this year, and every year.
That’s why we no longer want to be just the best meat supplier.
No, we’ve raised the bar. We want to be your partner and guide you in all thing’s related to meat.
