“Honouring the tradition and quality that came before us”

Thomsons West Coast Bacon & Sausages

Thomsons Butchery in Hari Hari began 13 years ago in response to the closure of native forestry logging in New Zealand. Faced with limited employment opportunities in Hari Hari, a small town on the West Coast of the South Island, we saw an opportunity to create something meaningful.

As a fourth-generation butcher, I joined forces with my wife, Lynley, to start a small home-kill business. What began as a humble operation quickly grew into the thriving butchery we proudly run today.

We take pride in using traditional processing methods passed down through four generations of my family. Our commitment to quality and craftsmanship ensures that every cut of meat reflects the dedication and care we put into our work.

We hope you enjoy the exceptional taste and quality of our meats as much as we enjoy bringing them to your table.
