Due to the logistics of running a large farm by ourselves and the distance from the abattoirs, butcher and the metropolitan area, the only feasible way is to sell our product in bulk which is how we sell the vast majority of our Baramba Beef. Unfortunately we do not have enough hoggets to offer as an on-line purchase.

However we appreciate that for a variety of reasons it is not practical for everybody to buy half a side in one go.

In order to make our beef and hogget available to people in small households or with insufficient freezer space or who don't consume large amounts of beef, we have made available our own outlet at the Organic Farmers Market at the Perth City Farm in East Perth which runs every Saturday from 8am to 12 noon. We are setting up a stall every 1st and 3rd Saturday only of the month, selling our beef, hogget and sausages out of a freezer. In keeping with our philosophy we will be able to meet our customers and we will be keen to communicate and to answer any questions you may have on how we run our project. You may also be interested in visiting the Perth City Farm website on http://www.cityfarmperth.org.au

 

In addition we have joined the new Western Farmers Market  every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month from 8am until noon at Palmyra Primary School. All details are on their website  http://www.westernfarmersmarkets.com.au

 

The other alternative is the Mimsbrook Farm just south of Armadale, Western Australia. Carmel Bainbridge runs a biodynamic farm, a lovely B&B as well as a Community Supported Agriculture project. Her web site is well worth a visit at http://www.biodynamic-food.com and she sells frozen Baramba Beef, Hogget and Sausages in her organic and biodynamic shop on site which is open by appointment only.

In addition Carmel also runs a shop at 65C Etwell St, East Victoria Park, from 10am to 5pm Wednesday to Friday and every Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 3pm for box pick-up of internet pre-orders and purchase of fresh available produce (includes milk, meat and dry goods). Opening times and days may vary from time to time so we suggest you check on the Mimsbrook biodynamic-food website.


We are always re-evaluating our operation and we may well set up more outlets in the future. At the moment we have one other retail place in sight but that is yet in an early developmental phase; please keep checking this web site for updated information.


So for the time being the four outlets for  buying Baramba Beef and Hogget in small quantities are:

	Organic Farmers' Market at Perth City Farm, cnr Brown St. and Lime St., EAST PERTH, Western Australia, every 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month between 8am and 12 noon. www.cityfarmperth.org.au   Western Farmers' Market every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month between 8am and noon at Palmyra Primary School, 60 Mc Kimmie St. Palmyra.
