Hardwicks has built a reputation as a specialist in premium lamb, renowned globally for tenderness, juiciness, and a naturally rich flavour. Established in 1973 as a small family-owned business in regional Victoria, the company has grown into a trusted supplier of Australian lamb to domestic and international markets, while remaining true to its commitment to quality and consistency.
Sourced from the lush pastures of southern Australia, Hardwicks lamb reflects the unique conditions of the region. Cool climates, reliable rainfall, and fertile soils create an ideal environment to raise healthy livestock and produce consistently flavoursome meat.
Partnering with carefully selected farmers, Hardwicks ensures animals are raised with care, using sustainable farming methods that protect the environment and uphold the highest standards of animal welfare.
“Hardwicks Lamb stands out for its rich flavour, consistent quality, and tender texture — the result of expert sourcing and careful preparation from paddock to plate.”
