Welcome to Moore Premium Meats Ostrich Farm!
Where we offer a better protein for a healthier life!
Ostrich meat is low in fat, low in cholesterol, and full of heart healthy Omega 3's.
Hi, we're The Moore Family and we are dedicated to sourcing the best quality meat for our customer.
Our journey started five years ago when we rented our first plot of farmland. Our goal was to get our kids out into the country and have some space to start a mini farm. Little did we realize at the time that this little opportunity would change our lives so significantly.
We decided our mini farm would be named Toad and Snail, which were our childhood nicknames.
As we were learning about producing our own food, we came across a realization. Great food makes us feel better! It's kind of silly isn't it... That's something that everyone knows is true, but really until you are doing it...it never really sinks in.
We also discovered that we didn't have a particularly green thumb... So we focus on growing vegetables just for our family and decided to expand into livestock.
But which livestock? That was the big question. We experimented with chickens and then we came across a very cool opportunity. Ostriches! Our lives would never be the same!
It's such a unique protein that looks and tastes like red meat, but is very easy to digest.
Everyone in our family loves it!
We decided that we needed to raise these animals to share this extraordinary meat with others. As Toad and Snail we started our journey, which worked well for about three months until we were asked if we sold frog legs...
That's when Moore Premium Meats was born!
What makes Ostrich meat different?
Low in Fat
With less than 2% fat, this meat naturally qualifies as an extra lean meat.
Low Cholesterol
Ostrich meat has less cholesterol than beef and chicken.
High in Iron
Includes more Iron than beef.
Lower in total Calories
Lower calories in total for each serving of meat means you can enjoy more of your favourite cuts without the worry of extra calories.
High in Omega 3's
Comparable to olive oil in the number of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats.
Red meat that tastes like beef!
It's a great substitute for beef as ground meat or steaks. If cooked to medium rare it tastes just like a lean beef steak.

"As we were building this farm, I started to realize more and more that I seemed to be pulled towards farming. It happened as we added livestock to our farm. Apparently, this was what I was meant to do..."

Be the first to know when we new products!
Working with small farms is a challenge. They often have specific dates that they are processing products and don't have a lot of storage space. We let everyone know when we will have new products or re-stocked products for sale through email.
