Cabernet Foods, trading as Kintyre Meats Ltd, is a family meat business with a base at 530 Gladstone Road in Carterton, in the Wairarapa. It sells premium 100% New Zealand beef, pork, lamb and goat under the Guilt-Free Meat name, and it offers wholesale and delivery. The business says it has its own livestock buyers, nursery farms, processing plants and refrigerated delivery vehicles, with support plant facilities in Hastings and Wellington. The site describes it as New Zealand's largest provider of premium meat.
The family story starts with a ballot farm in Foxton after the First World War. Over time the business grew to include several butcher shops across the Wellington region and a home delivery service. Cabernet Foods itself was set up in 2002 to bring farming, processing and retail together. The supplier farms named on the site are Black Rock Farm near Masterton, Ratanui Farm near Halcombe and Ahiaruhe Farm in the Ahiaruhe Valley. The site describes their practices as regenerative and sustainable, which is the basis of the Guilt-Free Meat promise.
