Mr Butcher Homekills is a butcher at 324 Ararimu Rd, Ramarama, in the Franklin district, with a Google rating of 5.0. By its name, it provides homekill services.
A good butcher knows where the meat comes from and can tell you how to cook it. Homekill means an animal is killed and processed for the owner's own use, so ask what is involved, how it is booked, how the meat is cut, packed and labelled, and how long it takes. In New Zealand, meat from a homekill is for the owner's household use and cannot be sold, so check the rules with the Ministry for Primary Industries or ask the butcher. Tell the butcher how you want the carcass cut, such as chops, roasts, mince and sausages, how much to freeze and how to store it. Regulars book early for autumn and winter, when many people fill freezers, and bring a chilly bin or freezer space.
For rural households around Ramarama and the Franklin district, Mr Butcher Homekills is worth contacting about booking and what is on offer.
