Flashback to the unforgettable @grasslandpoultry long table dinner! The food was sensational, and I wanted to share the full menu so you can see the other amazing producers around the Mudgee region who were highlighted in this incredible evening 😊

@kimcurrie925 from @thezinhouse created a range of beak-to-tailfeather dishes that showcased every part of the bird, showing how important each season and age of the bird is in food diversity. 🍽️ @lowefamilywineco paired THE perfect wines 🍷.

And dessert: I’ll just say it – that retired hen egg crème brûlée was the bomb 🔥🍮 I’ll be chasing that recipe for sure!

Also mentioned on the menu (and equally delicious!):
• Althea by Zin: @altheabyzin
• Tinja Pastoral: @tinjamudgee
• Argyle Saffron: @argylesaffron
• High Valley Cheese Co.: @highvalleycheese

Such a lovely evening spent around good food and great company. Can’t wait for the next one! 💕

What is Hand Sourced about?
Pasture-raised, mouthwatering meat, straight from Australian family farms to your table.

We’re proud to connect chefs, caterers, and families with premium local produce, fostering a deeper understanding of where food comes from and the care it takes to bring it from farm to plate.

Every product we supply is raised with transparency, ethical farming practices, and a commitment to sustainability. By choosing Australian produce, you’re not just enjoying incredible flavour—you’re supporting the families who care for the land and animals with dedication and respect.

Let’s celebrate local food, from paddock to plate, and the hardworking farmers behind every bite. Find us at www.handsourced.com.au

Special. I love what I do, and I know my customers do too. Every year, I connect hundreds of people looking for better quality meat with small-scale farmers who are raising animals the right way—ethically, regeneratively, and with care.

If you’re looking for meat that’s real, from farms that prioritise animal welfare, sustainability, and transparency, then give us a go.

We don’t do flashy advertising. We don’t offer gimmicks, free seafood for a year, or subscription based boxes. What we do offer is exceptional meat and poultry, sourced from true small-scale ethical farms at a price that keeps those farms viable. Because cheap prices and subscriptions and free things don’t mean quality—they mean someone, somewhere, is losing out.

Good meat should cost what it takes to raise an animal properly—with space to roam, the right food, and a life that reflects nature’s intent. Nothing artificial. Nothing fake. Just real, honest food.

Hi!

I’m Shirley, the sole trader behind Hand Sourced—a business I built to change the way people source and consume meat. My mission is simple: eat better meat and less of it.

I work exclusively with small Australian farmers who breed, raise, and process animals on-farm, following ethical, chemical-free, and regenerative farming practices. These farmers don’t take shortcuts, and neither do I. Every product I supply is single origin, pasture-raised, and free from hormones, additives, and chemicals—just as nature intended.

My customers range from chefs, restaurants, and butchers to home cooks and food lovers who care about where their food comes from. They share my belief that quality matters—for our health, for the farmers, and for the animals.

Without support, many of these boutique farms wouldn’t survive. Hand Sourced exists to connect ethical producers with conscientious consumers, ensuring that small-scale, high-welfare farming remains a viable choice in Australia.

When you buy from Hand Sourced, you’re making a choice that goes beyond your plate:
✅ Fair treatment for animals
✅ Fair pay for farmers
✅ A healthier planet

I believe in full transparency, giving you access to food that aligns with your values. No greenwashing, no factory farming—just real meat, raised with care. Contact me if you'd like more information :)
