At My Chef, we’re committed to farm-fresh ingredients – that’s our undeniable number one when choosing stockists to work with. We’re spoiled in the Riverina and Wagga Wagga area, with some of the best ingredients Australia has to offer, right on our doorstep. Today, we introduce you to Junee Prime Lamb; adding the star, mouth-watering ingredient to Farm Door meals like our Local Lamb Roast and our ever-popular slow Cooked Lamb Shanks, available in both our fresh and frozen ready meal ranges.
Junee Prime Lamb is a family-owned and operated business – just like us! Launched in 1997, they’ve quickly become one of the leading suppliers of lamb in Australia. Originally supplying pork, beef and lamb, they found their niche in superior quality lamb for both the Australian market and New Zealand, Asia, USA, Canada and the Middle East.
You may have enjoyed Junee Lamb if you’ve been lucky enough to dine at some of Australia’s finest restaurants…
There’s nothing mass-produced at Junee Prime Lamb. The livestock is raised on their 2500ha property in Riverina, New South Wales and on surrounding properties across our thriving local food bowl. The Riverina proudly boasts an “unspoiled natural environment, grazing on green pastures and enjoying an ideal climate.” Only the best for these lambs!
They’re also selective about the livestock they breed, believing it’s the combination of animals that are happy, healthy and well-looked after that produce “exceptionally tender and flavoursome prime lamb.” And we can vouch for that.
Though some have a misconception about farming processes remaining unchanged over the years, the world of ag-tech is booming. Their Junee, NSW processing centre has a highly-efficient production line “where staff work in conjunction with the latest technology.” Combine that with rigorous health and safety – something Junee Prime Lamb set to industry standards AND their personal commitment to superior quality. If you hadn’t already noticed a theme here, they’re advocates of quality.
One of the reasons we love our suppliers is that they share our commitment to the local community. As one of the largest employers in the region, Junee Prime Lamb strives to make a positive social and environmental impact. They’re smiling faces are often seen at the many community events and fundraisers in the region. Say hello next time you see them!
