Our Co. Monaghan Connection

We’re proud to bring our craft to Co. Monaghan. This county has a rich agricultural heritage, and it shows in the quality of the produce. It’s a place where people understand good food, straight from the land. We work with local farmers here, the kind who’ve been tending their fields and livestock for generations. It means we can get you meat that’s not just delicious, but also raised with respect for the animals and the environment. Think of it as an extension of our own standards, bringing you the very best.

What we bring to Monaghan

We supply Monaghan with the same quality and transparency we offer everywhere else. That means grass-fed beef, free-range pork, lamb that’s tasted the hills, and chicken that’s actually had room to move. Our charcuterie, too – cured and smoked with time-honoured techniques. You won’t find this kind of flavour from supermarket meat, no matter how much they try to dress it up. It’s about the whole picture: the feed, the welfare, the breed. For example, our Dexter beef, sourced from a small herd just outside Monaghan town, is intensely marbled and flavourful. A real treat. You can see our full list of services here.

What we do in Co. Monaghan

Traceability: Not Just a Buzzword

People ask about where their food comes from. It’s a fair question. With us, there are no shadows. We know the farms, we know the farmers. We can trace every cut back to the specific field it came from. This isn’t about ticking boxes; it’s about accountability. It means if there’s ever an issue, we can pinpoint it. More importantly, it means you get meat that’s genuinely what we say it is. We’re particularly proud of our relationship with a family farm near Carrickmacross. They’ve been raising Tamworth pigs for decades, and the resulting pork is something special. It’s this commitment that defines our Premium Free-Range Butcher in Co. Monaghan approach.

If you’re local and prefer to pick it up yourself, that’s also an option. Just select ‘delivery’ at checkout. We’ll have your order ready. We had one client whose phone rang three times in the first week asking if their order was ready for pickup – he was that eager. That’s the anticipation good meat inspires. Back to the homepage.
