Spray free pasture raised meat and farm produce

We offer farm direct sales of individual meat cuts, free range eggs, and other farm produce, both online and at local markets. We deliver anywhere in the Nelson region and to any non-rural address elsewhere in New Zealand.

Our animals are killed locally on our farm, in the most humane and stress free way possible in our own micro abattoir - no factories and no long-haul cattle trucks.

Our aim is to grow ethically raised, healthy and contented animals, using spray-free regenerative pasture, improving the capacity of the land to sequester carbon, build organic matter, and protect and enhance our waterways.

We put so much care and effort into growing our animals and we love being able to see this right through to sharing the outcome with you.

The meat doesn’t get much better. We had a porterhouse steak with flavor you won’t ever forget. Wholesome people. Can’t recommend enough.

Wonderful farm with fresh meat, eggs and dairy produce. They also have an AirBnB experience that is just wonderful. The hosts are really nice. The surrounding attractions such as golden beaches and natural labyrinth experience are great fun for a whole family

Love Ellis Creek Farm. Animals are well cared for. The meat is lean and a much higher quality and better taste than the supermarkets. Prices are reasonable for the product; ordering and delivery is efficient. Great product.

I love buying Ellis Creek farm meat and knowing how local and sustainable it is. I also love that I can buy unusual cuts of meat ww can't get at our supermarket.

I have been using Ellis Creek meat for a few years for my personal needs as well as for my catering business and have never been disappointed.  The love and care for their farm is reflected in the flavour and quality of the meat and having the goods delivered to my door is very convenient. I feel very lucky and grateful to have a sustainable and ethical source of meat available in the Tasman area.

Loved the peace and quiet, I am an "energy" person, meaning I pick up on the vibes of a place and to me it felt just calm and loving and friendly. Left some stuff behind, no problem to get it back, Johnathan is a no fuss, really helpful guy. Thanks.

Wonderful meat! Love their chorizo! The best I have tried so far~so juicy with great texture and perfect balance of salt and spice!

Ellis Creek Farms meat is the best quality meat we have found in the top of the south. It arrives well packaged and we always know where it is at. Communication is exceptional. During the summer we also ordered some of their products and I am still dreaming of the avocados grown on the farm. Thank you for raising and producing your ethically sound animals.
