Ethical Meat Suppliers –
Per capita, Australians are one of the highest consumers of meat in the world and 90% of the pork and chicken we eat is factory farmed. Health, environment and animal welfare implications of these statistics are concerning to say the least, and there’s no question that this consumption is unsustainable from every perspective.
When you eat ethically raised meat from a responsibly managed system that mimics the way nature works, you are playing an active role in a food system that builds and supports soil, plant and animal health. Regenerative farming can also play a big role in positively impacting our climate by sequestering carbon, but I’ll leave that can of worms for another post.
Eating offal like liver, will dramatically bump up your nutrient intake, and will also be kinder on your purse strings. It is also ensuring less animal wastage, so all round, it can make you feel good about buying and eating it.
The suppliers below are committed to bringing you the best quality, sustainably managed, humanely treated, and most flavoursome produce. Some of them don’t feature liver on their websites, but they do stock it, or can get it in fresh with a little notice
