Local Angus Beef — First Drop

We're excited to say… beef is here.

This is Mornington Peninsula Angus Beef, sourced directly from a local farmer (Trev), who takes great care in how his cattle are raised — and processed by a highly skilled Mornington Peninsula butcher.

Here's how it works:

• We pre-sell the entire animal
• Once sold, it goes to the abattoir Monday
• Then to our local butcher Thursday
• Dry-aged and prepared
• Delivered fresh and vacuum-packed the following Friday

👉 This is true paddock-to-plate, low food miles, fully traceable beef.

We are positioned at the top end price-wise, but importantly: we're taking a low margin to get this started, so you're getting genuine quality at fair value.

This is exactly what Jointly is about — less, but better quality.

📦

What We Need to Sell

To make this work, we've mapped out a balanced pack mix to utilise the entire animal. All packs are delivered fresh and vacuum-packed to your Hub on 3rd April.

👉 Once these are fully allocated, we go ahead and process the animal.

A Note on How This Works

Because we're working with a whole animal:

• Pack weights are estimated and may vary slightly
– If under → we'll adjust pricing
– If over → we'll list remaining cuts the following week
• There may be some individual cuts available, depending on final breakdown

👩‍🍳

Cooking Support (We've Got You)

Some cuts may be a little less familiar — that's part of using the whole animal.

If there's interest, I'll try and convince Mel to run a simple cooking session, or at least share some easy, practical recipes to help you get the most out of every cut.

We Want Your Feedback

This is our first run, and we want to get it right.

If you feel like the packs could be refined — we'd genuinely love your feedback. Let us know via WhatsApp. We're building this together.

Jointly Nourish Update

What a week for Nourish! Thanks to all our newcomers and the continued generosity of our community, we were able to share $530 worth of fresh produce (at cost) with local families and organisations doing it tough.

That's a big jump — and it's all because of you. Every order, every referral, every bit of community generosity adds up.

If you know of anyone in your Hub community who's doing it tough or could use a hand, please let us know. We're always happy to have part of our 5% giving allocation directed locally through you.

Thank you for making Nourish possible 💛
