- Environmentally sustainable. We border the Great Otway National Park and 25% of our farm is remnant forest and revegetated shelter belts which is beneficial for both stock and wildlife.

Otway Prime has been established to cater to the growing consumer awareness about the importance of sustainable farming practices, the need to maintain the highest standards of animal welfare and the benefits of local, seasonal, premium quality produce.
We aim to produce and source quality livestock that are unconfined and free range. We do not lot feed, use any genetically modified stock feed and we do not use growth hormones.
We believe in the ethical treatment of animals and prioritise animal welfare issues and stress minimisation. We are similarly committed to producing clean, wholesome, natural beef and lamb and we manage the supply chain to ensure our customers receive the highest quality produce.
Essentially, we are different because we are genuinely accountable for our produce from the paddock to the plate. We don't take shortcuts. Young cattle are locally sourced, then grown out and finished on our farm. Our genuine seasonal lamb is sourced from like-minded farmers in the region.
We personally handle all transport and our livestock are never mixed with non herd or flock members at any stage. We also oversee the production process so that it adheres to the highest standards of animal welfare practices. The meat produced is then aged on the bone in the traditional way, before cutting to your preference, cryocvac packing and delivering to your door, in person and by mutual arrangement with you.
We have established a unique and sophisticated network of highly skilled professionals - from breeders and backgrounders who supply stock to Otway Prime for growing out and finishing, to processors and butchers who provide us with a customised service. These professionals work with us to deliver a truly superior product. By supervising every aspect of the farming, transport and production process, Otway Prime has the ability to deliver our customers a product which is consistently of the highest quality. You can taste the difference.
We are so confident in the quality and integrity of our products that we offer a full refund or exchange if our customers are not totally satisfied.
