2. Bulk Buying:
a. Maleny Black Angus Beef:

There have been a few questions around this and currently we have a couple of people wanting to connect with others willing to share a larger portion of a beast.

Most of your questions are answered by going to their website www.malenyblackangusbeef.com.au

I will share my experience which may answer of few of the questions raised.

How much per kilo are you paying?

I have now bought twice from them. Each time 1/8th of a beast. It changes slightly per beast.

The last purchase was 34.7kg dressed weight

This bought my purchase price to approx. $18 per kilo

With total expenditure of $624.60

It goes down to approx $16.50 per kg if you order a whole beast.

What do you get?

I photographed what I got; various steaks, roasts, osso bocco, corn beef, ribs, diced meat and more,you choose the break up of sausages and mince you want.

How much space does it take up?

I have a small draw freezer and if I include the soup bones it fills 3 of my draws.

I hope that helps.

1b Strawberries.

We will be doing a bulk buy of local strawberries and having a get together for jam making soon. Can you please reply by return email if you want to be included in this to give us an idea of the volume of strawberries to buy. Thanks
