A family farm in Hawke’s Bay
Mangarara is a family farm in Hawke’s Bay, run with a deep respect for the land and the animals on it. Greg and Rachel farm on regenerative principles, growing diverse pastures without chemicals and letting the cattle and sheep range freely across them.
A lot of the work here has gone into bringing degraded land back to life, and every quarter, half or whole beast you buy supports a farming system built around that.
Mangarara sits at Tier 3 on the Out the Farm Gate rating.
Healthy soil first, then everything else
The system starts with the soil. Pastures are kept diverse rather than sown to a single grass, and grazing is managed holistically so the land gets time to recover between visits.
No chemicals go onto the pasture. The aim is soil biology that builds year on year, more carbon held in the ground, and grass that feeds the animals the way it should.
Mangarara also processes to order. A beast is only harvested once enough of it is sold, so the beef you get is as fresh as it can be.
Free range Angus, raised on diverse pasture
Mangarara runs Angus cattle. They graze the diverse pastures across the farm, and that is where the deep, natural flavour of the beef comes from.
Every quarter, half or whole comes as a full spread of cuts from one animal, off one farm. That is the honest way to buy beef, and it works out well per kg too.
What comes in every beast
- Eye fillet steak
- Porterhouse steak
- Scotch fillet steak
- Rump steak
- Casserole steak
- Brisket
- Rib roast
- Schnitzel

Come and see where your beef is raised
Mangarara runs an eco lodge on the property. It is fully self contained, with room for two or three families or a bigger group, and it puts you right in the middle of the farm.
Bookings are made directly with Mangarara on their own website, not through Out the Farm Gate.
Become a Careholder
The Mangarara Careholders programme lets you be part of the farm, not just a customer. Careholders get early access to beef, updates from the farm, and a real connection to the land their food comes from.
What to expect, from order to freezer
A few things worth knowing before you order. Click any question to open it.
The ordering process, start to finish
Mangarara sells Angus beef by the quarter, half and whole. When you place an order you choose your cuts using our online cut sheet. We organise the rest, and if you are not sure what to pick, we can help you fill it in.
Mangarara processes to order, so a beast only goes ahead once enough of it is booked. Once a harvest date is confirmed you will be notified by email.
What the price includes
Mangarara’s price covers the beef and the butchery. That means the cutting and the packing are already in the number you see on each card, and there is no separate bill from the butcher.
Sausages are the one extra, charged at $6.90 per kg.
The figures on the cards are estimates based on a typical carcass. Your final price is worked out on the actual carcass weight once the animal is harvested and weighed.
Which size should I choose
A quarter suits a smaller household. A half is the popular choice for families. A whole is the best value and is easy to split with friends or family.
Even a quarter is a good amount of meat, so it is worth having freezer space sorted before your beef is ready.
Payment terms
- Once your order and cut sheet are in, a deposit of $500 secures it.
- The balance is due to Mangarara once the animal is harvested and weighed. Because butchery is included, that one payment covers the beef and the butchery.
- Any sausages you ask for are added at $6.90 per kg.
