In 2011, Farmers Choice Meats purchased Marcelford Wholesale Meats. Marcelford Meats was a meat wholesaler of Beef, Pork and Lamb, operating out of an abattoir at Churchill, Queensland. At the end of 2019, a new premises was purchased, and the decision was made to revert our company name back to our original business name that we had retained – Farmers Choice Meats, so that it is more user friendly to our customers and suits today’s market needs.

The cold room facility is currently being modified and expanded so that is its export compliant to tier two, to ensure it meets our business needs now and in the future.

Farmers Choice Meats supplies only the best quality meat products to the end consumer. Our quality assurance processes ensure food safety and product quality. This is evident in the products Farmers Choice Meats supplies to their customers.

Farmers Choice Meats source their livestock both locally and interstate, to meet the individual needs of their customers. This means that the products supplies are fresh every day of the week.
