Fundraiser Raffle For the Meat Collective Abattoir at Jonai Farms

Help us raise $50k for the second stage of building a micro-abattoir at Jonai Farms!

In addition & parallel to the spectacular Fundraiser dinner that we are presenting at Jonai Farms with Bar Merenda, La Pinta, Pig & Earth & Tumpinyeri Growers we are also selling tickets to a raffle to increase the spread of our fundraising abilities. As with the fundraiser dinner, ever cent raised from this raffle with a very significant prize pool will go directly towards helping Tammi & Stuart Jonas build a micro-abattoir at Jonai, for the benefit of local small-scale livestock farmers who are losing access to the remaining abattoirs in Victoria owned by multinationals.

WHAT ARE WE RAISING FUNDS FOR?

Jonai Farms & Meatsmiths and Pig & Earth Farm are part of a vibrant community of small-scale farmers on Djaara Country working to take back control of the infrastructure intrinsic to livestock farming that has been captured by multinational corporations – in this case, abattoirs.

As farmers across the country rapidly lose access to abattoirs, butchers, grain mills and dairy processing, many are working collectively to protect the future of local food against the domination of corporations. Jonai Farms is one of them, collaborating for many years with Pig & Earth Farm in the on-farm boning room built with crowdfunding support back in 2013.

Now it’s time to build the Meat Collective @ Jonai, a micro-abattoir where the Jonai and several other local livestock farmers will be guaranteed the future of slaughter with the highest animal welfare. Without more of these facilities all around Victoria and Australia, local communities are about to lose access to local meat, as ever-fewer multinationals consolidate ownership of abattoirs into ever-fewer hands keen on export rather than feeding locals.

WHAT CAN YOU WIN IF YOU BUY A RAFFLE TICKET?
