FROM YOUR PASTURE TO YOUR PLATE

Personalized Handling: You have direct control over how the animal is slaughtered and butchered at your home address, ensuring it is done according to your specific standards, ethics, and requirements. This can include more humane practices or ensuring the animal is treated with care throughout the process

Animal Welfare: You will be able to ensure the animal is slaughtered in a less stressful environment, which can have a positive effect on meat quality (stress can negatively affect the meat). The animal is in a comfortable environment that they know, with no stressful travelling conditions.

Freshness: When you process the animal yourself or with a trusted butcher, the meat is typically fresher compared to meat that has been transported and stored at an abattoir.

Customization: You can ensure that the cuts of meat are exactly to your liking and can tailor the process to your specific culinary needs.

Knowing Where Your Meat Comes From: If you're concerned about the ethical treatment of livestock in industrial abattoirs, home slaughter allows you to oversee every step, ensuring that the animal is treated ethically, humanely, and in line with your values.

Less Stress for the Animal: Transporting livestock to an abattoir can be stressful for the animal, leading to poor meat quality. Slaughtering at home may reduce this stress, ensuring a more humane process.
