💷 Let’s talk about the price of our meat…
Money can sometimes feel like a bit of a taboo subject, but we want to be completely transparent about how we price our meat here at Poppies Farm.
So, what actually goes into the price you pay?
We take into account the real processing costs, including:
🥩 Getting the animal to the abattoir
🔪 The cost of processing at the abattoir
👨🍳 The cost of the butcher
📦 Packaging costs
🚜 Collecting the finished meat
❄️ And yes… even the electricity for keeping the freezers running!
What we don’t add into the price is the cost of our time spent raising and caring for the animals, or the cost of their bedding, hay and feed.
Our pricing is based primarily on what it costs us to get the meat from our farm to your freezer.
We also try to price our meat as closely as possible to M&S and Waitrose, as we feel these supermarkets offer the closest comparison in terms of the quality of meat we produce. Sometimes we can match their prices, and sometimes we may be a little more.
But what we can always promise is that when you buy Poppies Farm meat, you know exactly where it has come from.
It has been raised right here at Poppies Farm, by us, with the utmost care from the very beginning. 🌿🐄🐑🐖
So if you’ve ever wondered “why does farm meat cost what it does?” … hopefully this gives you a little insight.
And if you haven’t had a look at our prices yet… you might just be surprised! 👀
