Winter is here so look out for yourself

Winter is upon us and it is time we pay close attention to our health, particularly our diet at this time of the year. Colds and Flu are endemic and by managing the types of food we eat and our sleep patterns we can minimise our chances of contracting such illnesses.

We have some great stories on how you can just do that and of course don't forget those winter warming recipes. We feature two very popular style soups that are sure to be a hit with all the family members.

Remember - if you have a recipe you would like to share you can submit your favourite recipe and we will publish it on our site or maybe you can make some suggestions of your own to one of our already popular recipes.

THE MEAT-ING PLACE - Brisbane's Leading Organic Butcher & Produce Supplier

We would like to take this opportunity to introduce our company, The Meat-ting Place, to you and tell you something about us, our products and our services.

Steve and Jenelle Povey commenced retailing Organic Meat 14 years ago because we believe in the Organic philosophy of providing safe, healthy, natural and nutritious meats, just as nature intended. At that time, we were sourcing Organic farmers who were struggling to get into the Brisbane market.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

This place smells like a Tuscan evening - herbs on the table and fresh, well cooked meat in the kitchen.

Facebook Promo

We like to say a huge "Thank You" to all our wonderful customers who liked us on facebook and entered our competition.

We had so many excellent comments and we'd like to share a couple of them with you:

"Have to say guys... I am so grateful for the products you provide us herein Brisbane.... Organic is becoming more and more important with the GMO issues and the way animals and produce is cultivated... It scares me more that people are not informed about this more. I am always trying to source new options, and after living in the USA fr the last ten years where you can get everything organic very easily, it is hard in Australia... So THANK YOU for existing and helping me on my quest for great health!!!!"


"I would just like to thank the staff at the McDowall store who took the time to answer my questions and ease my mind this morning. Good quality meat is guaranteed if the butcher is open and confident in what they are selling. I am easing my way out of vegetarianism and don't think I will ever look back after finding you guys and your amazing products! I am telling everrrrryone about you! "

"Cooked up bbq steak and sausages tonight, normally no one in our house eats sausages, but they disappeared faster than a snow cone in Queensland!"
