Customer Reviews

There was more fat than I was anticipating, but it was easy to remove most of it before cooking. The chops, especially the small ones, could have been cut thicker for my liking, but overall the presentation and value was good. I will reorder again once we have used it all as the price was fantastic. Thankyou EmuDowns.

A lovely lady delivered on time. The lamb was carefully packed in a solid box, cut exactly as I had requested. Best of all, it more than measured up to expectations when I tasted the first chops.... beautifully tender and succulent. Fantastic buy.

Fabulous service , excellent produce, we are already enjoying your beautiful lamb. Thanks

Just found your Website 🙂

What you are doing is absolutely fantastic, my wife and I love this concept. We will be one of your customers as soon as we have a larger Freezer or can buy in smaller portions that will fit in our current Freezer. We will spread the "word" to everyone that we know

Greetings from Victor Harbor

Such an easy process from beginning to end. Easy to use website and great communication from Pandurra. The product was well wrapped and excellent quality. We have been very happy with the cuts we have tried so far and are looking forward to the rest.

Really good product. Easy process to order and communication for collection. The meat has been really good, all tender and easy to cook.
Will be buying again once this pack runs out!

Such a great initiative
My whole lamb was promptly delivered, and what we have eaten so far is soft and delicious.
Great value for money.

Very happy with my first purchase from Half A Cow and Pandurra Grazing. I had a helpful delivery date notification 1 week in advance, then delivery window updates on the day of delivery. The cuts of meat were conveniently packaged separately for easy freezing. And the meat is delicious!

A great service and user friendly website (my first order) online at; https://halfacow.farm

Emu Downs were a pleasure to deal with and they kept me update throughout my order. I received excellent quality lamb... 'as expected' and will certainly order again. The lamb was cut exactly as requested, thank you.

Plenty of produce for the money & obviously cheaper than anywhere else, plus great delivery.

Great customer service.
Taste amazing.
Best lamb that we have ever had.

Friendly and helpful staff. Great packaging with big serving size.

Absolutely delicious, fresh, beautiful lamb! Very very happy with the price and quality and delivery to my door
will be ordering again!

We had loin chops the first night and they were delicious , looking forward to roast leg for the family on Sunday 👍

🤤🤤🤤🤤 best tasting pork ever! Can’t wait to try their other meat. Chops were cut perfectly too!

Great dealing with belinda and love the lamb. As soon as I run out I re order. No complaints and when I've stuffed up my orders they're on to it with contacting me to clarify. Highly recommend emu downs

Excellent quality meat. Some packed in trays but some not. Just be ready with about 50 small freezer bags and separate it before you freeze it. Takes an hour but then you have the size meals you want all ready for you. If the butcher did it it would cost more and not be the right sized packs.

Lovely chicken, all sealed in 1kg bags. Easy communications and delivery. Will order again.

From the start, Michelle and Corry were, very quick to respond. Very flexible with their delivery options. It turned out it was much easier for me to pick it up on my way home from my work location. Once again, very flexible and accommodating when organising a time to pick up. On meeting Michelle and Corry, they were very friendly and helpful, very knowledgeable about their produce.Got home and found some extra goodies in my package, which was very much appreciated. Then came time to cook. Made some French chicken in white wine for some family and friends when they came over for dinner. OMG!!!!!!! no need to worry about chicken drying out, VERY succulent, juicy and the overall comment was the best chicken they had ever tasted. Yes I am a good cook🤣🤣, but it only makes you look soooo much better with good produce to start with. Well done Michelle and Corry. I will DEFINITELY be purchasing from you wonderful people again. 10/10 from my end.😊👍

Great service, product always fresh.nice cuts for charcoal.purchased half a lamb and everything was there. Cheap and very affordable.Dave and Tyson where fantastic.usually takes a week to receive order so slow time to receive your order. Well worth the wait as to rising living cost. Also the good thing is that we are helping out our local farmers . Keep up the good work guys.well done

Kind of happy with the whole service. The beef is tasty (from what we have tried of the mince, sausages, and round steak). The ordering process could have been a bit clearer. I ordered 4 x 1/8 cow to split with another family. I selected ‘pack for 2’ and it was generally packed into 1/4 cow packages in large packs which I then had to break down to freeze in smaller lots. I was told it’s typically 2-3 weeks between ordering and delivery. It arrived within 8 days, with 2 days notice, on the day we were planning to go away. We were not provided any contact details to arrange anything else. When the meat arrived it looked like it had a very hard day rolling around in the back of the van as the boxes were falling apart and meat juice oozing out of the mince and sausages. Not sure if I’ll order from here again in the future.

Wonderful meat. I'm happy I know where it came from. Supporting a small farm instead of big corporation. Fantastic service also.

Quick delivery and amazing product!

Well packed and sorted meat, all labelled. Really impressed with the quality of the meat and will purchase again. Much rather buy direct from a farmer than the big supermarkets. Only downside was lack of delivery communication, I received an email from the courier on the day of delivery, no approximate time so I had to make sure someone was home a day. Maybe bit of communication that your order is being packed and will be picked up by a courier within next 48hrs so dont have to cancel all plans for the day last minute. Otherwise easy process to purchase, receive and freeze!

I have not received anything or any email saying anything about a possible delivery or delay and has now been 2 weeks

lovely people, beautiful meat, beats the hell out of supermarket meat for taste and price.

Good variety of different cuts of beef with value for money pricing.
Super tender and tasty.
Can never eat supermarket beef again!
Highly recommend.

Cannot recommend more. Fantastic communication, all labeled for me, fast delivery & a superb quality of meat. Will definitely be ordering again.

Have only tried some of the beef so far but the fillet steak was super tender, snags very nice and the mince was nice and lean. Overall very happy with the product and will be buying again later in the year. Half a pig is next on the list. Better quality and price than the shops and delivered to the door! Thanks team

Just received our order and was very impressed. Great variety of cuts and how it was packed is so convenient. T-bones that night and they melted in our mouths and tonight it’s the mince for lasagna. The best beef we have ever purchased and we will definitely be ordering again. Highly recommended and we will be passing on this experience to family and friends to encourage them to support Australian farmers directly. Thank you all at Half a Cow and Two Creeks Beef as well as Jared the Butcher for putting us onto Two Creeks Beef with his reels on social media.

Fantastic service. Simple ordering, speedy and friendly delivery to my door, absolutely amazing quality beef at a great price especially when purchasing during the 10% off sale. Tried the lamb last time and will definitely purchase both again.

I would 150% recommend Ponde Meats I got my Beef Order yesterday and not only was the beef the nicest meat I've had in a very long time. The guy I dealt with had great communication and customer service even brought the boxes of meat inside and put them in my kitchen! I can not wait to place another order!!!

Amazing customer service, I always get a message a few days before to confirm delivery times and the quality of the meat is phenomenal.

I have collected my order and have tried some of the cuts and have placed the rest in the freezer as it will take me a little while to get through. The taste of what I have tried is amazing. The sausages were very nice as were the New York steak and the eye fillet. The ribs were fantastic. The Osso Bucco was also incredible and held its flavour beautifully amongst the other ingredients. Value wise I think you are getting top value meat for fairly similar to supermarket prices on their average stuff. Definitely worth acquiring your meat through half a cow and leave the supermarket stuff alone. I will be back for more once I get through all the meat in my freezer. One bonus is I am now expanding from my usual cooking routine so I can make good use of the cuts that I don't cook out of habit.

love it, filled my freezer for the winter

Order arrived absolutely fantastic so happy with what we got. this will definitely be how we purchase meat from now on

Fantastic quality meat, great communication from Brad and Beth.

A1 all around!

The meat is beautiful but unfortunately two items were missing which I advised the farmer, and I never received them. Sadly this is too much money to be spending to be missing items, won't be back.

Service was excellent and kept in contact throughout. The meat is exceptional, we have enjoyed some steaks and they were absolutely amazing.

For my first order we chose a Saltbush Hogget from Pandurra Grazing.
Ordering on the website was easy. Mel, from Pandurra, kept me informed as to when the sheep would be processed. Delivery tracking was incredibly accurate, and the meat was delivered to my kitchen by Mel. The quality of the meat is superb.
All in all a great way to buy quality meat from people who care about providing a quality product.

What wonderful services and meat that actually tastes like lamb, have no hesitation in recommending this to Lamb lovers.

I orderd x1 Full Lamb from Ponde Meats, this is my second order from; halfacow.farm. Due to flooding the river cut some roads to Ponde Meats, the staff at Ponde Meats kept in touch the whole process; throughout my order. The young gentleman delivered the lamb to my door, cut to perfection. I was very impressed with the quality of meat... We; had visitors from overseas who were delighted eating Ponde Meats farmed lamb & it is far better quality than the local Supermarkets.

It 'wasnt' full of water/ juices like supermarkets cryvac meat & not laden with fat. It was to my liking & I'll certainly order again... the staff were brilliant.

It was great talking to Andrea, very friendly & helpfull.

This was first order , will most definitely order again . there was few small hicups along way . Farmer Eric done excellent job between other customers. Waiting for animal to be ready took a while as to be expected, the quality well worth the wait .Thanks to all at half a cow .

Very happy with my first purchase from Half A Cow and Ponde meat. I had a helpful delivery date notification 1 week in advance, then delivery window updates on the day of delivery. The cuts of meat were conveniently packaged separately for easy freezing. And the meat is delicious!
Will definitely be buying from these guys again cheers.

Wow. The pork is absolutely stunning. This has to be about the best meat we've ever purchased from anyone in our 60+ years on this planet. The tastiness stars deserve more for this pork! Can't recommend this farm highly enough! We'll be buying more 🙂

The shipping was the only minor glitch, the sausages weren't in the original shipment and arrived separately, which is no big deal at all. We were phoned and informed... The sausages are just superb too!

So the headline is: fantastic product, very friendly and communicative farmer, highly recommended.

Excellent service, great meat and delivery to our home which they even brought inside to kitchen for me. Will be buying again

Excellent saltbush lamb. Will order again! Delivery made easy and punctually.

Quality of meat was fresh,cut nice and no smell. Quantity and price was excellent.Dave who delivered was on time and very helpful.i bought half a lamb and was very happy.i will be using Dave ponde meats from now on to cater for my events and fill my freezer with fresh food.i have now cut my meat shopping by 50%.thank you so much for helping out.

Got a few kgs less then what we paid for. Good sausages but nearly half is mince and snags. Worked out about $19kg for packed meat.

Quality was very good but Quantity was not.
Paid $25 for Vacuum packed but all items were not vacuum packed (rolled shoulders), and only received 1 trotter - I thought pigs had 4.
This is my Third order and previous orders gave me more choices as to how I have animal broken down into. Also I’m wondering about the 1 rack of Spare Ribs but that could have been because other items that were made

Ordering was super easy, meat is top quality
& delivered promptly, had great communication with the farmer, will definitely order again!!

Ordering was easy through the website for a family. Communication was amazing from Belinda all the way through to delivery on my door step. Grass fed lamb is so tasty and tender. Thank you Belinda & Aaron. I will be ordering again.

Absolutely amazing quality and best tasting meats. The team at Ponde Meats go above and beyond and cant be faulted.

Last purchase was half a pig and would have to say it was the best pork we have had, very helpful and friendly people would recommend them to anyone.

Wonderful service and meat is great quality highly recommend

Amazing! The meat is some of the best I have ever had, and to cook mince and not get any water in the pan was a first (I didn't realise how much water is pumped into the mince from supermarkets). Fantastic service from start to finish, and as an added bonus I also got to meet the farmer and talk to the butcher, this will now be the only way I buy my meat. I would highly recommend.

First time we have purchased directly from the farm, cannot believe how tasty the meat is compared to the supermarket. Yes value for money, just lacking in packaging as some of the cryovacing was not sealed.

Great tasting beef. So tender.. would buy again.
