Welcome to the
Fleurieu Community
Co-operative!

The Fleurieu Community Co-operative (FCC) has been created to ensure a long-term, sustainable solution for meat processing and to recreate the meat supply chain in the Fleurieu Peninsula.

The re-opened abattoir will have a strong focus on serving the needs of the community by providing an efficient, quality driven, local meat supply chain option including contract processing, contract cutting and connecting consumers and farmers together in Adelaide and South Australia. It is our vision to entirely recreate the way farmers, consumers, retailers and the food service industry interact with the meat supply chain by offering a transparent unified mutual mindset where there is pride, respect and fairness offered to all stakeholders.

Fully technology-enabled from the outset, to facilitate ease of booking, ordering and payment – and to enable ‘paddock-to-plate’-type transparency, to support premium, local products and brands.

The FCC will operate as a “supply by choice” Community owned facility where the members will access substantial rebates and profit sharing – as well as premium prices. Anyone who will use the services of the co-operative, or supply goods or services to it, will need to apply to become a member, including agricultural producers, butchers, supermarkets and restaurants and consumers. There will also be a range of member benefits, including the opportunity to invest, buy direct from the farmer and for farmers to utilise the facility for their stock processing requirements

We look forward to welcoming more local members, suppliers and potential employees as we prepare to open the facility in the second half of 2024.
