Where Does Your Meat Come From? Why Buying Local, Eating Local and Supporting Local Matters

We believe being a small, independent butcher isn’t just about delivering premium cuts — it’s about building relationships. Relationships with our farmers, our customers, and the food itself.

The best part of running a butcher shop in Mullumbimby? We know exactly where our meat comes from — and we’re proud to share that with you.

Locally Sourced from Trusted Farms

Our beef is sourced from nearby farms in Main Arm and Myocum, just a short drive from our shop. These aren’t faceless industrial suppliers, they’re local farmers who raise their animals with care, integrity, and respect for the land. That’s why we work with them.

Being farmers ourselves also gives us (and you!) the advantage. We know the local area, have an eye for quality cattle and are right in the network of farmers in the Byron Shire, meaning that we can source the best quality.

This means no long transport chains, no mystery meat, and no guesswork. We know the paddocks. We know the people. And you know you’re getting honest, traceable meat every time you shop with us.

Grass-Fed, Hormone & Antibiotic-Free

All of our beef is:

• Grass-fed
• Hormone-free
• Antibiotic-free

When cattle are raised on pasture the way nature intended, there’s no need for artificial additives. Grass-fed beef is naturally leaner, higher in nutrients like Omega-3 fatty acids, and richer in flavour. It’s better for the animals, better for you, and better for the planet.

By choosing meat that’s hormone and antibiotic-free, you’re making a healthier, more sustainable choice. Not only for your plate, your family but also for your peace of mind.

Why It Matters to Buy Local

Supporting small-scale local farms means more than just freshness. It keeps your food dollars in the community and supports ethical, regenerative agriculture.

At Devine Quality Meats, we’re proud to offer cuts that are not only top quality but also tell a story of local connection and values.

When a customer asks us where their steak comes from, we don’t need to look it up. We can tell them the farm and the farmer and the best way to cook it. That kind of transparency is rare these days and it’s something we’re proud to stand behind.

Taste the Devine Difference

Whether you’re firing up the BBQ, slow-cooking a roast, or just looking for the perfect steak for dinner, our team is here to help. We can cut to order, answer your questions, and recommend the best cuts for every occasion.

Being a small butcher allows us to stay hands-on, offer better service, and focus on quality over quantity. That’s the butcher’s difference — and you can taste it in every bite.
