Wright Cut Meats in Cooroy is a unique butcher shop embracing the farm-to-plate ethos.
Recently purchased by Kilkivan cattle farmer Dan Carney, Wright Cut Meats reflects a growing demand for transparency, traceability, and ethical meat and seafood sourcing on the Sunshine Coast.
“I’ve been an organic, regenerative cattle farmer for over 20 years now,“ Dan said.
“We’ve always eaten our own beef as I wanted to ensure my family was eating wholesome food without any chemicals. It was a natural progression to purchase a butcher shop and make available this quality, nourishing food to the wider community.
“When raising plants and animals, when you get the soil functioning correctly and manage the animals correctly, they are naturally healthy and there is no need for the suite of chemicals that are used in mainstream production systems. We are partnering with other like minded local farmers to source for our customers chemical free meat and eggs and wild caught seafood that is worth eating.“
They embrace the artisan way of butchery.
“Our smallgoods are traditionally smoked in house, sausages made by hand, and honour the whole animal through using all the cuts,“ Dan said.
“Since taking ownership we’ve seen a notable increase in families looking for organic food, whether it’s a mum starting a baby on solids for the first time or adults with major health problems that realise they need to change their diet. It is really satisfying to be able to help people on this journey, as food really is medicine.
“Our housemade 100 per cent grass fed tallow and our range of preservative free sausages, ham and bacon are big sellers, along with the usual suite of steaks.”
