Difference
Humane farming values, no antibiotics or hormone treatment and pasture fed
No grain, no cheap farming short cuts
Our family values, tradition, passion, love for how we live and the animals we raise
Our family has always farmed sustainably – with minimalist intervention sanctioning the free-roaming and natural development of our magnificent animals.
Our family operates with heart, passion and a primal respect for the land and animals they rear, fighting for humanity in the world of animal agriculture. This is rigorously upheld by adhering to a free range, no-hormone-intervention policy, with all animals being grass-fed to ensure peace- of-mind and consumption.
Quality
Quality of life determines the quality of the taste
From paddock to plate best possible experience every step of the way
Farming the way nature intended
Our beef, lamb and pork are testament to the pasture-rich, open paddocks in which they are free to graze and develop naturally. Under this legacy, Castle Estate continues to rear and cultivate livestock with freshness and fairness in mind along each animal’s trajectory from paddock to plate, delivering only the finest quality cuts to meat-loving Australians.
Traceability
Follow your meat from paddock to plate
On-site Abattoir
Our fully accredited, on farm, boutique abattoir. This made us the only fully-integrated operation of our kind in Victoria, and we’re bloody proud of that.
It means our animals are grown the way nature intended. That means they aren’t transported vast distances, they’re processed naturally and butchered and packed by our own dedicated team, before being delivered directly to our loyal customers.
Discovery
Experience what real meat tastes like – The meaning of authentic free-range farming lies in the trajectory of the animal’s life. This means the animal is pasture-fed and grass-grazing. Our animals are outside in the open air, consuming fresh, verdant fields. Celebrated for their natural unique shapes, sizes and growth, each animal is farmed with humanity and a no-waste policy, for an ultimately superior taste on your plate.
In addition to the superior taste of free range meat and the improved conditions for free range animals, there is growing evidence of the health benefits of eating products from pastured animals. And we simply can’t argue with that.
Discover new cuts of meat to expand your cooking repertoire – eat the whole animal not just the popular cuts
For the zealous gastronome or experimental foodie, this presents a wonderful opportunity to become more creative in the kitchen than ever before. The Castle family encourages consumers to expand their cooking repertoire and experiment with new cuts of meat.
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.
Recipes
New products from the Providore
In addition to the superior taste of free-range meat, and the elevated conditions for free-range animals to roam, grow and graze on, there is surmounting evidence bolstering the health (and taste) benefits of eating products from pastured animals like those offered by Castle Estate.
