Raised on lush, New Zealand pasture, our premium ground venison is as good as it gets. This lean and deliciously distinctive protein offers a healthy new way to enjoy a wide range of popular dishes – from rich Bolognese sauces to Thai lettuce cups and Swedish meatballs.
Pasture raised
What does that mean?
When choosing high-quality venison, it's important to seek out grass-fed, pasture-raised options as it delivers a leaner meat that is distinctive and delicate in flavor and perfectly suited to a broad range of meals. We take pride in delivering the same level of quality every time. So, whether you're looking for a quick and easy meal or a premium protein alternative – our venison is an excellent choice.
We’re lucky in New Zealand. Our climate is ideal for deer, which means we can raise them outside in pastures, where they eat grass all year round. This improves the quality of the meat and requires minimal intervention, making it a much more natural and sustainable way to farm. By optimizing our natural resources and implementing low intensity farming practices, we can minimize our impact on the environment.
No Added Hormones. Ever
What does that mean?
It might surprise you to learn that many meat producers use added hormones to increase the growth rates of their livestock. While this may boost productivity, it creates an unnatural life cycle for animals. At Silver Farms we prefer to let nature do its work, which means our animals are never given added growth hormones.
How does that effect the meat?
Added growth hormones are a common feature of high-intensity farming, which places animals under greater stress than they would otherwise experience. Ultimately, we believe this has a direct impact on the quality of the meat. So, down here in New Zealand, we prefer to take our time and let the meat and its incredible flavors develop the way nature intended.

What does that mean?

Shipping it frozen means we can preserve its freshness, flavor and nutritional value as it will be protected from spoilage, contamination and degradation during transportation. It’s a great way to ensure that our products are always of the highest possible standard when they reach your door. When you’re ready to cook the product, we recommend that you transfer your meat to the refrigerator to defrost fully.
