I have found some threads on the forum Happy and got some useful links for igloo etc.
I havent come across the woolcool packaging though greenbeast so thanks for that. I got my EHO round a few weeks ago before I did my Food Safety cert and he was very helpful. My nest step in order to butcher from home is my HACCP and in order to complete that I need to be clear about the product, the process, the storage and the shopfront. Whether that be selling from the farm, the back of a van or online. So I am trying to understand the whole process of packaging, storage, delivery etc.
Thanks for that Sophie I will google Polar Express. I live in one of the biggest Agricultural areas in the country and as a result, despite the affluence their is very little regard for high end, high welfare meat products. I found it so much easier to sell my produce to customers when I worked in Leeds and even now my butchered lamb is all sold to customers in North and West Leeds. Its interesting to note that M and S or Waitrose have no stores in my region...tough nuts to crack perhaps?
I want to be able to butcher my own pork and lamb next year and sell to a wider area without having to drive it there myself ideally. So I'm in the process of getting my head around it all, any feedback greatly appreciated.
