Our Packaging

All our meat at Hurunui-farms is freshly prepared, vacuum sealed and then initially it will be fresh for the local pick up of boxes, but we will move to frozen as we grow and are sending boxes all over New Zeland.

VACUUM PACKING

• Helps preserve food by removing air from the bag it is stored in

• It gets rid of oxygen which affects food in various ways including odour, colour, taste & texture

• Vacuum sealing holds in the moisture, juices and flavour of the food; you’ll notice the difference in taste

• Most vacuum sealed foods will last in the refrigerator for up to 7-10 days, which is much longer than the typical 2-3 days food will last when stored conventionally in a refrigerator

FREEZING

• Helps to preserve nutrients in food

• Stops rapid nutrient deterioration

• Halts the spread of bacteria, resulting in food that is both fresher and safer to eat

• Frozen food that is vacuum sealed lasts an average 12 months

With years of knowledge and advances in technology we are always working with the best and most up to date process to ensure all our meat products are safe and fresh.
