Cape Town's Ethical Butchery

We find the right farmer. We buy the whole animal. We take it apart with respect. We use every piece we can. 

Our Stores

Woodstock 

Our headquarters. Our basecamp. Our heartbeat. This facility is where we receive carcasses and do the actual butchery. 

Claremont

Palmyra is a small but considered store packed with options. Receiving goods on a daily basis from Woodstock means that a wide range of cuts are always available.

GARDENS 

Gardens Centre is our “convenience” store. With loads of parking - and a position at the entrance to Woolworths - it’s super easy to pop in and choose from a variety of products

Ozcf market

Oranjezicht City Farm Market is our little outlet on the Atlantic Seaboard. Open weekends and seasonally on Wednesday evenings, it’s well stocked and service is quick and easy.
