Now that I’m a reformed meat eater, I am always on the lookout for good places to buy delish meat. Conveniently situated in my ‘hood, Hope Meats at 17A Mackeurtan Avenue, Durban North, is run by husband-and-wife team, Micky and Vikki, who are passionate about supplying top quality meat to health conscious individuals who care as much about the humane treatment of animals and traceability of their food as they do. Although organic meat is very difficult to farm on a commercial basis, Hope Meats pride themselves on delivering a product as close to organic as possible, at very affordable prices.
Their beef and lamb are bred and naturally reared grazing the fields on the couple’s family farms in Underberg and Richmond. Their free-range chicken is bred in the Midlands by a couple that have the same business ethics and love for animals as Hope Meats do. Pork is bred locally, free of added growth hormones or promoters and routine antibiotics.
The butchery offers consistent quality, value-added products and special processed products that are gluten-free, preservative free and with no added MSG. Their blockmen will cut to your specific requirements.
I was super impressed with the meat we got from Vikki. The thin cheese wors was so delish we were literally fighting for the last morsel. The boerie was also delicious and not at all fatty like normal wors. The rump was tender and tasty and the lamb loin chops plump and juicy. The dry wors I’m told was fantastic – my hubby didn’t share that! I had no idea hormone free and free range would make such a difference to the taste let alone the health aspect! We will definitely be back for more.
