About Us
Central Otago is the perfect environment to produce premium goat meat.
Shingle Creek Chevon
We have been goat farmers in New Zealand since 1995, selling goat meat products. The Shingle Creek is nestled in the heart of Central Otago, just south of Alexandra.
This beautiful, mountainous region of New Zealand is the perfect environment for goat farming. It is here that we produce high quality, lean, nutritious Shingle Creek Chevon.
With local success and increasing demand for goat meat internationally, the decision was made to expand into exporting, resulting the formation of New Zealand Premium Goat Meat Limited in 2016.
Why switch to eating Chevon Goat Meat?
There are various names for goats depending on their age. Capretto and Cabrito are names given to younger kid goats, while Chevon is a virtual synonym for ‘goat meat’ from older goats.
Shingle Creek Chevon sources meat from Boer Goats around the 12 month mark. This allows for the development of a strong, healthy animal providing high quality meat.
What’s different about Shingle Creek Chevon?
Our free roaming goats eat rosehips, thyme and other wild herbs as well as broom and gorse.
Unlike ‘wild’ or ‘feral’ goat meat that you may have tried in the past, Shingle Creek Chevon is bred to produce top quality, tender, juicy, flavourful meat.
If you cook meat, you can cook Chevon!

About Our Goat Farms
Our goat meat comes from experienced, professionally-run farms in Central Otago.
The hot, dry summers are perfectly suited to goats and clean mountain water flows through the farms, aiding bountiful feed stocks for the free-roaming goats to keep them in premium condition.
