Your Farmer Connects NSW Families to Grass-Fed Beef and Lamb via Paddock-to-Plate Subscriptions
High Range, Australia - November 6, 2026 / Your Farmer /
Your Farmer operates a subscription service connecting Sydney, Canberra and Illawarra households directly with named farms in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, delivering grass-fed beef and lamb traced through every step of production under a formal in-house sourcing standard.
The service, built by agro-ecologist and founder David Savill, draws on more than 20 years of ecological farming to bring households into direct relationships with the farmers who raise their meat. Rather than sourcing through intermediary supply chains, Your Farmer identifies each farm by name and maintains ongoing relationships with those producers, giving subscribers visibility into where their beef and lamb come from before an order is placed.
Traceability and Sourcing Standards
At the centre of the Your Farmer model is the National Livestock Identification System (NLIS), Australia's mandatory traceability scheme for cattle and sheep. Every animal sourced through the service is tracked using NLIS records, which link individual animals to the properties where they were raised. This traceability sits alongside the Your Farmer Certified standard, an internal sourcing benchmark developed by the business rather than a third-party certification body, which governs how farms are selected and how animals are managed before they reach subscribers.
All beef and lamb supplied through the service is grass-fed and raised under rotational grazing practices. Rotational grazing involves moving livestock across defined paddock sections in sequence, allowing pasture to recover between grazing periods. David Savill, whose background is in agro-ecology, applies this approach across the Southern Highlands farms that supply the service, with the aim of maintaining pasture condition over time.
What Subscribers Receive
Your Farmer offers beef and lamb in formats designed for household use, including beef and lamb shares as well as half or quarter cow options. Subscribers choose a delivery frequency that suits their household, receiving their meat on a schedule they set at the time of sign-up. All cuts are processed using ProCryo vacuum sealing and rapid freezing, a method that removes air from packaging and brings meat to freezing temperature quickly after processing. The combined effect of vacuum sealing and rapid freezing is intended to preserve the condition of the meat during storage and transit.
Deliveries reach households across Sydney, Canberra and the Illawarra, covering a broad sweep of populated New South Wales and the ACT. The Southern Highlands, where the supplying farms are located, sits within driving distance of all three regions, which supports the direct relationship model the service is built on.
The Role of Ecological Farming
David Savill founded Your Farmer with a focus on connecting the ecological management of land with the experience of eating meat sourced from that land. His background in agro-ecology informs how the Your Farmer Certified standard is applied and how the farms in the network are managed. The subscription structure is designed so that households receiving paddock to plate meat can follow the provenance of each cut back to a specific farm and farming practice.
The service positions paddock to plate as a function of traceability and direct sourcing rather than a marketing label, with NLIS records, named farm relationships and the internal sourcing standard serving as the operational foundations of that claim.
