01 — The Farm
Russell & Lil — organic farming from a shared belief
Russell and Lil’s shared beliefs around organic food production and a love for animals and the environment brought them together in 2013, beginning a new chapter in both their lives. Their mission from the start has been clear: raise animals humanely, farm sustainably, and produce food that’s as good for the planet as it is for the people eating it.
Pikiroa Organic Farm is based in the mighty Waikato — one of New Zealand’s most productive farming regions. Their system is deliberately low input: animals live outside, are 100% grass-fed, and never receive hormones or GMOs. It’s food the way it used to be — all the goodness, none of the nasties.
“We believe in making organic accessible. Beautiful, nutritious, high-quality food shouldn’t take hours of searching.”
Certified Organic
100% NZ certified organic beef and lamb. No synthetic chemicals, hormones, or GMOs — on the pasture or in the animals.
Grass Fed & Free Range
Animals live outside on grass all year round. Low input, high welfare — the way farming is supposed to work.
21-Day Dry Aged
All beef is dry aged for 21 days — developing tenderness, depth of flavour, and the quality you’d expect from a boutique butchery.
Compostable Packaging
Shipped in compostable packaging. From a farm that cares about the environment, right through to the box it arrives in.
02 — The Beef & Lamb
Boutique butchery — grown on the farm, prepared with care
The Organic Food Shop is the retail arm of Pikiroa Organic Farm — a boutique butchery offering the full range of certified organic beef and lamb cuts, prepared with care and shipped directly to you. Everything is sourced from the farm, so you know exactly where it came from and how it was raised.
Beef is dry aged for 21 days to develop exceptional tenderness and flavour. Both beef and lamb are 100% grass-fed, hormone free, and certified organic — available online with weekly Monday delivery across New Zealand.
03 — Farm Produce
Eggs, honey & seasonal veges — straight from Pikiroa Farm
Beyond beef and lamb, Pikiroa Farm produces free-range organic eggs, raw organic honey, and seasonal organic vegetables. All grown and raised on the farm, available through The Organic Food Shop online.
