About Basecamp Salamis and Meat Processing

A small family-run homekill butchery and salami maker at 38 Grammer Road in Tahawai, Katikati. It runs a retail side that makes handmade, wood-smoked salamis and small goods, and a processing side for hunters and lifestyle block owners. Nick, the butcher, has more than 20 years' experience, and the website says his approach is "feeding the whānau".

The retail range includes venison salami made from MAF certified, free range wild venison. The website says products can be ordered online and delivered New Zealand wide, and it asks customers not to send orders to rural addresses. The processing service covers wild game and domestic animals, and carcass breakdown includes all the cuts, which are tray packed. Rolled roasts are also made. The chiller and freezer are open 24/7 for drop-off and pick-up, and whole carcasses can be hung in the hunters' chiller.

We hear the business and its meat processing service are currently for sale through Bayleys. Phone 07 552 0013 or 027 276 1896.
