A homekill butchery between Rangiora and Woodend, where your own animal is processed in a new factory with a 24/7 drop-off chiller. Meat2u is at 401 Gressons Road in Waikuku. The website describes a brand new factory with ample chiller space, designed to MPI and export specifications, and says it serves Waimakariri and wider North Canterbury. Homekill processing covers wild game, including deer, pigs, sheep, goats, chamois and tahr, and produces roasts, steaks, mince, hamburger patties, bacon and salami. Cuts can be made gourmet or gluten-free, and meat is returned vacuum-packed. Cutting lists must be completed before an animal arrives. Seasonings, marinades and sausage flavourings are also offered. The owner welcomes visitors to look around and discuss requirements, and the phone number is 03 313 0022.
The sausages are hand made with 100% fresh meat and natural hog casings, and the website says they are not machine made, not made with artificial collagen casings, and not filled with fillers. The business is closed until 20 January, with orders processed after that unless arranged earlier. Frozen raw cubes, brisket bones, neck bones and beef shin on the bone are offered as well.
