HOPE ISLAND GOURMET MEATS

Hope Island Gourmet Meats has been a family owned business for over 20 years. Since our beginnings we have always ensured that our meat is of highest quality grass fed and that our customers are treated to great service and a large variety of meats. We have a long standing relationship with all our suppliers which means if we don’t have it on display we can get it for you anyway. If there is a specialty cut you require, or even a whole suckling pig for a family spit roast, just have a chat with one of our friendly butchers who will be able to prepare it, season it or even give you hints and tips on how to make your next BBQ one your guests will never forget.

When it comes to meat, especially natural grass fed, there is no substitute for quality. That is why we source our meat from only the best suppliers, and we purchase it whole, no pre-cut cardboard boxes of meat for us.

Supporting the community

Hope Island Gourmet Meats also provides meat trays for clubs and supplies a variety of small goods and grass fed meat to restaurateurs and chefs. We can deliver daily and ensure every order is met with freshest, highest quality meat.

We are also big believers in supporting the local community, therefore we offer sponsorships and support to sporting clubs, non for profit organisations and schools.

Sourced Assist

Recognition

Traceability allowing all the business involved in getting food to plate to be recognised for thier place in a good food story.

Rural Family Support

While Sourced Club is primarily a traceability platform for the food industry we have decided to support our rural families by providing a way for family members to promote services or products outside of the food industry.

We understand that secondary incomes coming in to the household at a time of need can make a great difference. We also acknowledge that your rural location means that family members trying to branch into other indusrtries do not have the same opportunitites that their city counterparts have. This Rural Family Support addition to the Sourced Club platform will gives you an opportuniuty to be found and supported by the public.

The Sourced Club community is about just that community, together we can make a difference.

Use Drought as the password on the below form and we will be in touch. Please note due to the demand and workload behind our drought applications we cannot guarantee that your listing will be approved by the launch publicity media campaign. We will however do our best to have you listed as soon as possible.

Community

Allowing consumers not only to purchase with purpose but to be a part of the food system they support. The names and faces of the people who are in a food story will have more impact on consumers feeling like part of the story than any menu stating Location and type can compare.

Together we can make the shift this industry needs to create and support a sustainable food system for our future generations

Inside Sourced Club July 2018

Launch
July 2018

From the Begining…

I’m an Australian mother who cares about the food I am eating and feeding my three children. I am also the daughter and granddaughter of a family who have lived in most aspects of the food industry. I know the work that goes into getting food to plate and I know the people and the stories behind the business’s that take part in such a demanding yet rewarding industry.

I saw the need for a platform that connects our food system from paddock or ocean to plate back in 2016. The Australian media ran stories on a dairy crisis with farmers not being paid enough for their milk to survive. The public responded, rallying around the farmers and leaving $1 litre milk on the shelves. Choosing to pay more for milk they believe would ensure farmers were paid fairly.

From this ideal, that consumers will make changes if given the knowledge to purchase with purpose. That as a community we could support business’s like restaurants and coffee shops that have a larger buying power, we can make a real difference in our food system.

The Sourced Club community was born.

Traceability – Transparency – Integrity

We give a voice to farmers and recognition for the work they do and the choices they make that provides our communities with healthy nutritional food.

We give business’s that purchase ethically a way to promote their position in a sustainable food system to consumers.

We give consumers piece of mind to purchase with purpose when shopping and dining out. Knowing their meals are a part of a good food community.

In all our members will be known for transparency and integrity at a time when consumers are asking these very questions.

Where is it from?…

Who has handled it?…

What is in it?…

Where they paid fairly?…

Animal Welfare?…

My goal with the sourced club community is to connect our food systems from the paddock or ocean to plate. To support and promote business’s in our food industry that purchase and operate in line with community standards. The journey is gratifying and the greater goal of transparent sustainable food system an epic finale.

Introducing

Adrian and Wendy Lindner
Lindoris
Riverina NSW Australia

It is with great pleasure that I introduce our first member of the month. My Uncle and Aunty, Adrian and Wendy Lindner.

Throughout the implementation of the sourced club community, Adrian has guided me through the needs of our farmers and the challenges they face in getting a voice to consumer.

Majority of Farmers have a absolute pride for the lifestyle and the produce they put to market. Yet even in today’s society where everyone with a phone can create an audience, farmers are the least represented industry online. An affordable digital presence was paramount in our mission to ensure all farmers could be a part of this community getting a voice to consumer and leveraging their network for brand reach.

With the introduction of our Sourced Club Community to the market in July 2018 we hope to give small scale farmers the digital presence they need to promote their brand and take their farms into the next millennium.

for our future generations

Lindoris
Riverina NSW Australia

Exhausted soils, weed infestations, plant diseases and rust outbreaks in wheat. Sounds like 2018? It may well be, but that was exactly what was happening when our family farm “Lindoris” commenced farming in 1895. By the end of the 19^th century these problems were devastating Australian agriculture. Farming practices needed to change if the colony of NSW was to feed a growing population. A change from squatters casually grazing vast tracts of land to large-scale tree clearing and multiple cultivation became the norm in 1895. But through research and farmers innovations, agricultural practices and methods have since improved. Key advances in agricultural practices have enabled the rise in productivity at the same time as improving land management practices. Our goal is now increasing productivity whilst maintaining sustainability.

That has now become the mission for Lindoris. It’s not just about the profit for this year. That’s temporary. We need to drive sustainable operations in order that Lindoris is in better shape for the future. So what has changed for Lindoris in 2018 compared to 1895? Firstly, 21st century consumers are discerning, wanting ethically produced quality food and fibre using no or minimal chemicals. Secondly, climate change is requiring a rethink on what Lindoris produces. Since 1990 there has been a 28% reduction in winter rainfall. Then add increasing frosts, resurrected rust problems in wheat, new canola diseases, chemical resistant weeds and failed springs. These facts and managing these risks have led us to move from cropping to perennial pastures to enable year round prime lamb production. Nice plump lambs that are either sold to supermarkets at 6 months old or kept for 12 months to then go on an overseas journey to export markets. Another initiative has been new plantations of farm forestry and bio diversity on land not suitable for improved pastures. Ironically, we’re now putting back trees that my great grandfather cleared. Caring for the environment is now vital but at the same time we seek to have a productive farm for current and future generations.
