We talk a lot about our Providore store and with good reason!

At Castle Estate – our meat is our hero but we cannot deny that we are also die hard foodies who celebrate good food and wine as part of the joys of life.

We have carefully curated a range of artisan food and beverage products that we believe are hero products both from small businesses within our local community and throughout the great state of Victoria. These are all tried and tested by the Castle Estate family and are regular features in our pantry and on our plates.

Food is life and we celebrate that in all that we do. We cherish the animals that provide us with our incredible tasting meats and we also love to work with the best artisan food and beverage companies who share the same values and principles as we do.

The providore store is the true expression of our inner passionate foodie and we believe you will be just as inspired and engaged with these brands and their delicious products as we are.

Over the years, butchers have noticed an increase in popularity for secondary meat cuts such as briskets, cheeks, tails and even ribs. We love seeing our customers try different cuts of meat and have a heap of suggestions on how to cook up a feast with “not-so-common” butcher foods. Feel free to jump onto our website to have a look at all the different products we have to offer.

At Castle Estate, we use prime safe registered refrigerated vehicles to deliver all of our meats. All meats are individually wrapped using cryovac packaging technology which enables the meat to stay at its optimal freshness for longer. The meat will appear slightly darker in colour due to the lack of oxygen, but will return to its lighter shade once rested out of the packaging before cooking.

Our animals are pasture-fed, grass-grazing in the open air, 

consuming fresh, verdant fields. Celebrated for all their unique shapes and sizes, each animal is respectfully farmed in alignment with nature. Our animals are raised free from antibiotics and hormone intervention that is tragically now common practice in the mass produced meat industry. We invite you to taste the difference for yourself.

Lean, tender and full of flavour, kangaroo steak is one of our healthiest meat options as it has 2% less fat and is rich in protein, essential B vitamins, minerals such as zinc, iron and omega 3 fats and omega 6 fatty acids. Compared to beef, kangaroo contains double the amount of iron and triple that of chicken and pork. Serve it with a side of vegetables or mix it into a stew, kangaroo steak has become one of the most diverse meats in Australia which until now could only be used for pet food.

Established by the Warner family in 2015, their aim was To produce truly free range eggs on a sustainable model and supply them direct to the customer. Before they knew it, the Warner’s had 8000 chickens! The chickens also refered to as ‘the girls’ spend their days grazing on the fertile volcanic soils and have access to both the paddocks and safety of their mobile home 24/7. 

Caravan Eggs are just one of the many small businesses that Castle Estate support through our Providore Shop. To find out more check out our website at https://castleestate.com.au/product/12-free-range-eggs/

We often preach about our ethical farming practises because we know that animals are one of the biggest greenhouse gas producers. We always try to do everything we can to reduce our carbon footprint and one of the main ways we do this is by leaving less behind when consuming the animal.

The traditional values of reducing waste have never been more relevant than now. When the Castle Estate (butcher and abattoir) prepares an animal as a source of food, they operate under the firm belief system that the whole animal must be utilised to minimise waste and avert frivolous farming. To see how you can eat more than just the core parts of the animal head to our recipe page for meal ideas and product suggestions.
