They sell a good range of organic produce there. The butcher in Randwick is where my family goes, and they like him very much. You need to emphasize keeping the fat on some of his cuts sometimes though. Sam the Butcher isn't always the most reliable source of "organic" meat. Going from the info of previous staff members some produce is labeled organic without being organic. Hudson's butcher in Surry Hills sells beautiful 100% grass fed beef. Their fit out is gorgeous and they're full of great info about where all their meat comes from and what the farms are like too. I always have a great, personal experience every time I got there. Happy eating! Alana Hi B :-)

Great site!
Can anyone recommend a good organic butcher in Sydney? I tried ’sam the butcher’ but I had some bad experience there so I’m looking for some alternatives. I’ve heard of one in Randwick - has anyone tried it?

I'm wondering if someone can help me with an updated source of raw dairy products in Sydney (I think I read there was some sort of crack down on the raw cheese people at various markets?) I live in the Penrith region, but am willing to travel to the eastern suburbs every now and again to buy in bulk lots. I already have sourced raw goats milk and raw cows milk, but am very interested in raw butter, raw cheese (any sort), raw yoghurt... and less importantly, raw creme fraiche and raw ice cream - if such a thing exists, without added sugar except the natural sugar in the fruit. A little list of Sydney places stocking these products as of Oct 08 would be very much appreciated! A new WAPer in conversion, Cole Hello everyone!

I'm looking for an Australian grower/supplier of fresh young/green coconuts. All the ones I've seen have been imported from Thailand and are mouldy/not that fresh (perhaps because of the extra transit time to get to Perth?). Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks heaps. Hi, the WA Chapter link seems to be broken. I’m looking for an Australian grower/supplier of fresh young/green coconuts.

Can anyone recommend a brand(s) of good quality organic butter from pasture fed cows? I am located in south-east suburbs of Melbourne and am having difficulty finding it. Also, is there any difference between "organic" butter and "pasture-fed" butter? Does "organic" mean "pasture-fed" and vice versa? I have read that although the milk is organic the cow may still have been fed a diet high in grains. Thanks in advance for your help!! Love this web site :-) Hi there all.

I emailed them and asked if it's from grass-fed cows and here's the answer I got: [quote]Our cows graze all day on the paddocks, on green feed and if this is not enough they are fed meadows hay, which we cut from our own farm. At milking times they are feed a handful of pure grain which is biodynamic or organically grown and certified. [/quote] It sounds like a good one :) their website is: www.bdfarmpariscreek.com.au Thanks again,

Do any of those farmers at the market have butter? I'll definitely see you there; I'm the one wearing green ;) Thanks so much for the reply :)

Ocean Shores has some buffalo I'm told but I haven't met the butcher and given the 3rd degree yet. I can highly recommend the meat from the Hayter's Hill boys at the markets. Their Chipolata sausages are a win for kiddies and they include free range pork from another local farmer. I've met these pigs and I'm and totally happy that they are happy as pigs in mud, cause they are pigs in mud. They get lots of sunshine, eat heaps of macadamias, sweet potatoes and green grass and they're allowed to fallow in the brambles (homebirthed piggies). Their farmer husbands them with total respect. One problem with the Hayter's Hill boys, they don't have any organ meats. There's some arrangement with the processor in which they pay in organs. Please nag them with me though. They are well aware of the Weston A Price foundation and farm their animals in the Joel Salatin style. They are fourth generation farmers and really love their life. If only they could slaughter on site and give me their guts too. For organs, the best I can say is Matthew from Sunforest turkey - at the markets too - has turkey liver. Delicious as a pate and kids love it. Other than that, try Wholly Smoked for organs. BTW Sunforest does turkey, chicken necks and frames for broths - very important part of the WAPF recommendations. See you at the markets Majik. Hi Majik, The best place for grass fed, well-loved animals is via the Byron and Bangalow Farmers market.
