ELTHAM HOMEKILL BUTCHERY
We process Beef, Pig, Sheep, Goat and Wild Game for local farmers and hunters in the Taranaki & Whanganui areas.
Homekill butchering methods emphasize humane, halal-free, stress-free slaughter and processing of farm-raised animals for personal consumption by the owner and their household. Home kill butcheries can accommodate special requests for specific cuts and offer vacuum packing to preserve meat quality and extend shelf life.
The animals are typically raised on the individual’s property or sourced from a nearby farm, promoting local and sustainable food systems.
Homekills focus on quality, safety, and customer satisfaction, ensuring a reliable and high-standard process from farm to table.

All the meat will be cut to your specifications, then vacuum packed and frozen. All cuts are vacuum packed, except sausages, salami and mince.
Yield Sheet & Invoicing
We supply a yield/weight of each cut of meat and send the invoice. Payment options are online invoicing or cash.

We will contact you when the meat is ready for pickup (usually 9-11 days after drop-off).

With every order, we provide a yield sheet which gives you the weight information of all the cuts of meat, so you know exactly what you are getting back. We like to think that our quality and transparency is the thing that sets us apart from the rest.
