Certified Organic Food product of the year: Cleaver’s Organic Beef Lasagne
Arcadian Organic & Natural Meat Co is a leading global supplier of premium quality certified organic meat and is a pioneer in the organic meat industry. Arcadian prides itself on a history of innovation, market leadership, and creating award-winning products to meet the changing demands of the market.
The company’s flagship Cleaver’s brand is the most successful organic meat brand in Australia, delivering new, innovative certified organic products to Australians every year, including Cleaver’s Beef Lasagne – the first certified organic grass fed beef lasagne that is commercially available on a large scale in major Australian supermarkets.
Arcadian’s story began in 2005 when current CEO, Alister Ferguson, and his long-time friend Peter Gall (current Livestock Department Manager), decided to commercialise their vision for organic meat production in Australia. Today, Arcadian is the largest processor of organic livestock in Australia.
Arcadian believes in the fundamental importance of organic certification, and being certified to the ‘Bud’ means consumers can be sure that Cleaver’s products have been approved by Australia’s leading organic certification body and comply with the most rigorously enforced organic standards.
Arcadian says that winning the Australian Organic Industry Awards is a significant achievement for the company, since significant effort goes into developing great new certified organic products and into building new customer relationships and strengthening existing ones. Winning means that these efforts are rewarded and increases the motivation to continue striving for excellence.
