Our Net Carbon Zero by Nature* Range
At Silver Fern Farms, doing right by people, animals and the environment is part of who we are – it’s in our nature. That is why we are proud to introduce New Zealand’s first Grass-Fed, end-to-end Net Carbon Zero range*.
You can trust that 100% of end-to-end Greenhouse Gas emissions are measured and then balanced out by verified woody vegetation that is actively absorbing the equivalent amount of CO². This vegetation only occurs on farms that supply us.
*Climate impacts in relation to the raising of animals have been addressed in accordance with the Toitū net carbonzero standard. Refer to silverfernfarms.com/carbon for further information.

We provide consistently delicious and tender beef, lamb, and venison that has been ethically raised on pasture by passionate farmers who have been perfecting grass-fed meat for generations.
Our grass-based system optimizes natural resources and uses low-intensity farming practices to minimize environmental impact. Using a natural abundance of rainwater to grow grass, farmers optimize livestock to match the natural grass growth curve.
Our ability to grow nutritious grass year-round means our farmers can raise animals with a light touch, allowing them to lead as close to a natural life as possible. The care shown on farm is reflected in the quality and flavor of the meat we produce at Silver Fern Farms. A diet of nutrient-rich grass produces natural marbling and gives a fine, delicate texture. The result is the finest quality, nutritious and delicious, tender red meat.

All orders should be retrieved as soon as possible. We pack the shipment with enough dry ice to facilitate the delivery, but packages should not remain outside longer than 2-4 hours after delivery. When retrieved within that time window, your meat should arrive refrigerator cold—below 40°F as measured with a food thermometer. We cannot refund parcels which have proof of delivery but then go missing.
