Matt & Sarah
Matt & Sarah are both locals who grew up in Matakana. Matt on a farm, Sarah in the Matakana village with her sister Kylie who you will also see behind the counter. Good luck telling them apart!
Both Sarah and Matt attended the local Matakana Primary School and then Mahurangi College. Matt did his Apprenticeship at New World Warkworth and qualified at the age of 17.
Sarah and Matt travelled the World before settling in Australia, where Matt managed a butchery in Brisbane before heading to WA to work on the mines. It wasn't until they both got wind of the Matakana Butchery coming up for sale in 2013 that they considered coming back to plant roots in their home town.
Matt now boasts 16 years experience in the industry, 10 years homekill processing experience and a life long passion for producing quality meat to the community.
