Steve & Family

01 — The Family

A family business built on doing things right

We were a young family when we started Eketahuna Country Meats 10 years ago — and now we’re a not so young family. We have three children aged 16, 14 and 11, and as parents we want our kids eating quality, unprocessed food as much as possible.

We also want to provide that for your family too. As the business has grown, we’ve started working with other farming families who are friends of ours and share our values. We only select the very best stock — and we know exactly where it’s come from and how it’s been raised.

“We know where every animal has come from and how it has been raised. That’s the start of a top-quality product.”

03 — What You Can Buy

Beef, pork, eggs and fresh milk

Everything Eketahuna Country Meats sells is sourced with the same care. Grass-fed, free farmed, or pasture-raised — and processed the old-fashioned way in their own butchery.

Grass-Fed Angus Beef

Steaks, brisket, prime roasts and bulk packs. Cattle are grass-fed and handled with care, developing rich flavour and satisfying texture — whether grilling, slow-cooking or roasting.

Shop Beef →

Free Range Pork

Pork chops, belly, diced pork, cured hocks and more. Processed the old-fashioned way — dry-cured bacon that won’t shrivel in the pan, hams that aren’t over-pumped with water.

Shop Pork →

Free Range Eggs

Strong shells, thick whites, vibrant yolks. Hens raised with genuine free-range standards — the chicken comes first, and it shows in every egg.

Shop Eggs →

Whole Fresh Milk

1 litre of fresh milk — just like it used to taste. Pasteurised and bottled in glass. Nothing added, nothing taken out. From a mixed herd of 400 cows in Eketahuna, around 80% A2.

04 — Our Suppliers

We know where every animal comes from

Eketahuna Country Meats sources from a small group of trusted farming families — friends with the same values and the same commitment to quality. Here’s who’s behind the meat on your plate.

Glenburn Station

John and Helen McFadzean — along with son Lochie — have been breeding top quality stock at this beautiful coastal Wairarapa station for over 40 years. A lot of the Angus beef and lamb ECM sells comes from Glenburn. Often regarded as one of the best stations in the Wairarapa.

Freedom Farms

All ECM pork comes from the Freedom Farms group — a simple choice because they share the same animal welfare standards. Whole carcasses are bought and processed the old-fashioned way in ECM’s own butchery. No shortcuts, no water pump.

Totara Hills

Grant and Charlotte Bennett’s farm sits under the Tararua Ranges, 15km north west of Eketahuna. 400 cows across 220ha, around 80% A2. High traceability, glass bottles, and environmental sustainability as a top priority.

eg Free Range Eggs

A Bulls-based family company in operation since 2023. Their philosophy is simple — when the chicken comes first, the eggs speak for themselves. Gooey, vibrant, thick, creamy, fresh, rich yolks. Customers say it every time.
