Our animals are sourced from local farms who model our own farming practices, which align with a regenerative farming ethos that values sustainable custodianship of the land; improving ecosystems and ensuring the highest wellbeing and care of livestock.” Since its beginnings, Cabernet Foods has evolved as a reputable supplier and processor in New Zealand, as the nation’s preferred provider of premium meat, and the only supplier with a fully integrated supply chain thanks to their investment in farming, processing, storage and distribution, fleet of 15 heavy vehicles, and two warehouses. The core team skilled staff values consistency, transparency, integrity, and sustainability above all else. They work proudly with local New Zealand farmers according to strict ethical guidelines to produce highly nutritious, tasty, and sustainable meats that have landed the company a number of prestigious awards, available in detail on the Cabernet Foods website. Ethical farming, the brothers say, is about “giving back to the land and doing right by our animals. We want future generations to be able to continue farming these lands and producing quality meat, and for people to feel good about purchasing form us.” Animals sourced by Cabernet Foods are raised in regenerative farming environments that focus on protecting, enhancing, and promoting the health of their local ecosystems. Animals do not come into contact with any added hormones or genetic modification; farmers are committed to raising healthy, happy cattle, sheep, and pigs that benefit from natural environments. Pig farms are independently audited by the PigCare certification program. Sheep and Cattle have their welfare consistently monitored through independent farm audits by Beef and Lamb New Zealand’s Farm Assurance Program. But it’s not just the animals that are cared for to the highest degree, Brian and Lyndon explain. “At every step in our operations, we look for Cabernet Foods’ Hereford Prime Beef brand offers premium Fillets, Sirloins, Rumps, and Scotch cuts.
