We work with the family-run butchery Kleinhenz from northern Bavaria to source of Naturland-certified merino mince. The sheep are raised on the neighbouring WernerGut farm in line with Naturland standards.
The butchery Landmetzgerei Kleinhenz is run by Silivia and her parents. This small business primarily supplies speciality meat to the local region. Much of what they offer is processed by hand, from chopping meat and stuffing sausages to packing produce.
Not far away, at the WernerGut farm, the sheep are raised carefully in a way that allows them to express natural behaviour. They are given the farm’s own organic feed. Everything takes place nearby – from the birth and raising of the livestock to their slaughter and processing. The distance between the sheep farm and the slaughterhouse is just 3 km, guaranteeing short transport distances and minimising stress for the animals.
In addition to merino sheep, the farm run by Norbert Werner and his family keeps suckler cows, fattening pigs and laying hens. The animals spend the whole summer at pasture and live in spacious free-range barns with thick straw litter during the winter.
Allowing the animals to express natural behaviour and processing the meat carefully results in an exceptionally high-quality mince.
“The merino sheep is a heritage livestock breed that is in danger of extinction. Often, people just think of it as providing outstanding wool, but we believe that merino sheep are a fantastic dual-purpose animal because their meat is also excellent: it is tender with a very mild flavour.”
