An organically certified (Organic Trust) abattoir has been operating in Bawnboy, Co. Cavan since June 2005. Fresh meat is available every week through the Co-op's new mobile meat unit at farmers' markets, some organic shops, and direct sales.
The Co-op pays particular attention to the hanging of meat to ensure it is tender and full flavoured, so fresh beef and lamb should be ordered 2 weeks in advance.
The meat can be butchered to meet your requirements. There are freezer facilities at King House in Boyle, and freezer packs are always available. Co-op members get a 10% discount on our prices.
