Koi Flat Meats

08/03/2026

we've had our first frost, the stags are wallowing and it's really feeling like autumn.
I don't know about you but this time of year always gets me keen.
pic of good mate, an old rifle and an obliging young stag that was turned into some great products.

some nice products going out at the moment from hunters meat as well as beef, sheep and pigs.

feel free to give me a call to discuss your processing needs

Mince is a fairly universal "staple meal" for most families, and unfortunately with the way meat prices are going it's getting harder for families to afford simple quality meat.
a month or so back I had a message from a farmer asking what to do with a beast that couldn't go to the works so he asked if it could be donated to a food bank.... in this case KiwiHarvest through GBC in Gore.
Said Beasty turned up in appropriate pieces thanks to the local slaughterman and it's now packed and in the freezer... more than 120kg worth of prime quality mince ready to go out to families that need a bit of extra at the mo.

so here's to the good bu**er farmers who quietly put back in to the community.... there's a few families that are going to enjoy some great meat!

just a few sausages here ready to pack.

like and share Koi Flat Meats, guess the correct weight and I'll give the closest guess a venison salami!

been having fun making some yummy bits over the last few weeks. couldn't resist a board this arvo. chorizo needs a little longer to "age" but still tastes great.

if you've got some venison or wild pork etc and want to have these sorts of yummies to enjoy(and wow the inlaws) then give me a call. still time before christmas...

Ps everything I make is GLUTEN FREE
