Patangata Station is
a family run farming
operation
Located in the picturesque Tuki Tuki Valley of Central Hawke’s Bay.
Duncan Smith & Annabel Tapley-Smith and their two children, Tabatha and
Rupert are sheep, beef and cropping farmers.
They are passionate about quality, farming and having a good time.
Duncan and Annabel firmly believe that their formula of supplying their own
Patangata Station beef and lamb to their butcher shop (situated just 15kms away
from the farm) is a simple, but effective one.
We farm gender specific, breed specific, size specific animals for the Butchery. That means when you eat a lamb chop or a lamb sausage you know that it is a Suffolk-Texel ewe lamb (which translates to a ‘meat breed lamb and a female’), so you know you are getting the juiciest, tenderest, tastiest chop possible, not a male lamb which can have tainting and differing characteristics.
