Most conventional hams (and pork) sold in Australian supermarkets —and even many retail butchers — come from pigs raised in intensive factory farming systems, meaning that the pigs and piglets are kept indoors on concrete slabs with barely any space to move freely throughout their lives.

At the heart of everything we do is the ethical treatment of animals. We have never, and will never stock products sourced from intensive farming. Every ham in our store is made on-site  using certified Western Australian Free Range Pork and naturally smoked in our in-store smokehouse.

At The Naked Butcher, we've always been dedicated to serving you the finest quality meats, and today, we are thrilled to introduce our newest supplier - Murray Grey Beef from Bailup, Western Australia. This exceptional breed, cultivated in the heart of WA, brings a world of unique benefits to your dining table. Let's take a sneak peek into what makes Murray Grey cattle stand out from the herd.

In Australia, grass-fed beef has risen in popularity as consumers become ever more discerning about where their meat comes from, how it is produced, and how it may impact their health.  

Unfortunately, despite these positive trends in consumer behaviour, Australian labelling laws allow for a confusing and misleading representation for what ‘grass-fed’ truly means.
