About Carrfields Prime Platform
Who are we?
Carrfields is representative of a family who has farmed and built the Carr Group of companies over the past forty years from the fields of the Canterbury region. At the core of our business is our New Zealand heritage, its land, farms, and people. At Carrfields we value innovation, our people, integrity, service, and safety. Our promise is to deliver quality and integrity across the value chain starting at the farm gate right through to the family home in New Zealand or around the world.
Carrfields Prime Platform is currently for selling lamb.
We will be looking to sell mutton and beef on Carrfields Prime Platform in the future. Carrfields Prime Platform allows for an efficient supply chain movement between farmer and processor while also improving animal welfare by less time in transit. This improved efficient supply chain is a lower cost option than traditional sales channels as livestock are sold in the paddock with no cost to the farmer until they are sold.
