The Carnivore Meat Market
The Carnivore Meat Market has been our vision since we first started Carnivore Lifesytle Australia in 2021. Many of our plans for new products and the deli platform were put on hold the past couple of years following a personal injury, which many of you may already be aware of from following us on social media.
Enter 2024, with Meta (Facebook & Instagram) shadow banning our social media accounts, because “carnivore” became a dirty word worthy of censoring, and we had to quickly pivot and realise our plans to ensure that we can keep The Carnivore Store operating and servicing our most valued carnivore customers. Your support of The Carnivore Meat Market keeps The Carnivore Store alive.
We aim to bring to you a selection of curated, high quality farmed meats, seafood, wild game, milk and eggs, From Carnivores To Carnivores! And with the carni-convenience of FREE delivery to your door! Because we understand the simplicity of the way YOU eat and live.
We are launching The Carnivore Meat Market with our Meat Boxes, but stay tuned, as we have more in store!
What sets us apart from other meat platforms is that our values and priority are always with our carnivore customers. We guarantee that all Meat Boxes in our market are 100% carnivore. You will never have to sift through countless listings to find one that doesn’t contain gluten filled sausages or spices and seasonings. We’ve eliminated all plant-based foods for you and only partner with suppliers that are capable of providing true carnivore ingredients.
We also provide the most comprehensive filter available on any meat platform in Australia, to ensure you only obtain the Meat Box listings that align with your own personal values, allergy or religious requirements. These filters are; How I am Raised and How I am Processed.
Why Meat Boxes? Because not every carnivore has access to a chest or large stand up freezer to store larger animal cuts in. And we are all about convenience and practicality.
The initial launch of our meat platform is to provide convenient 100% carnivore Meat Boxes delivered directly to your door. These Meat Boxes are a curation of smaller cuts to service the average home refrigerator and freezer. However, stay tuned as we have exciting plans to come, which includes much larger cuts.
We work with our trusted suppliers to curate a 100% carnivore Meat Box offering that meets your needs. We provide the platform that connects carnivores with 100% carnivore meat-offerings and coordinate with our suppliers whom arrange your convenient door delivery. We are not the “manufacturer” of your Meat Box and are not directly involved in the processing, packaging, transportation or pricing of your Meat Box. As a carnivore family, we are committed to enabling all carnivores Australia-wide to conveniently access our sole food source.

If you do not receive it, or your email address is in error, please contact us at orders@carnivorelifestyleaustralia.com.au prior to ordering from The Carnivore Store.

Your use of the weekly and fortnightly subscription coupon codes corresponds to the subscription that you’ve selected. For example, if you are on a weekly subscription, the coupon can be used by you (under your account) up to four times a month, for the term of your subscription. If you are on a fortnightly subscription, it can be used by you up to twice a month, for the term of your subscription.
Subscription discount coupon codes can be applied to all products in The Carnivore Store (both in-stock and back-order products). Yes, this includes our Carnivore Crackle! The coupon applies to the RRP or regular price of the product. Please understand that if we were to apply it to Sale items, we would go broke very quickly, as Sale items have very minimal margins.
Gift Vouchers are excluded for purchase using the coupon codes (for obvious reasons).
At present, monthly subscriptions do not receive a discount in The Carnivore Store. However, you do receive 5% off your Meat Box order value! This is a good saving over the 3 month minimum subscription period relative to the one-off purchase option.

Meat Quality
All meat is mRNA-free in Australia presently. Vaccination of livestock with mRNA injections is not approved for use in Australia.
There are very few farmers in Australia that are completely vaccine, antibiotic and medication-free. But they do exist! To see if you’re in a lucky zone, enter your postcode, then select “How I am Raised” and choose the category (or multiple categories) you wish to screen for.
Please note that all information is provided by our Farmers and Butchers directly. Our Farmers have indicated that they must follow strict withholding periods between any treatments and slaughter. Australia is a vast continent, with varying climates and terrain, and hence varying associated risks of livestock illnesses and injuries. Some vaccines and medications are essential for animal welfare. For example, in areas where parasitic worms or liver flukes are prevalent, worming may occur 3 monthly. Similarly, if an animal is unwell or has sustained an injury they are provided with the necessary medical treatment which may include antibiotic treatment, like penicillin.
We understand and respect that this may not be acceptable practice to some customers. If you are not in one of the lucky zones with a supplier that meets your needs, we would suggest putting a call out local to your area to see if you can connect with any like-minded farmers.
We understand the seriousness of coeliac disease and knowing how a food source is stored and processed. As a part of our Onboarding process, we vet our suppliers for all particulars relating to how the meat was raised, stored and processed. We have a filter to screen for coeliac appropriate processing methods (see How am I Processed filter). We aim to connect with more suppliers that can cater to allergies and intolerances to better serve our carnivore customers. If you know of any, we’d love to hear from you, just send us an email at info@carnivorelifestyleaustralia.com.au.
We personally understand how debilitating histamine intolerance and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) can be. Depending on the severity of your histamine allergy will determine which meats you can/ cannot consume which can be a very individual requirement best discusssed in consultation with your medical provider. That said, we have made sure to include specific filters to separate out Dry-Aged meats and added a Minimum Hung option under our How I am Processed filter.
In our own personal experience, if reactiveness is high, we recommend quickly cooked cuts of meat (beef steaks and low-fat lamb steaks) and the avoidance of all – eggs, dairy, seafood; cured, canned and smoked meats; pork; and cuts of meats that are best roasted, stewed and slow cooked. This includes the avoidance of dry-aged meats and bones (for slow cooked bone broths and roasted bone marrow). We also recommend that any meat is thawed in the refrigerator and portioned such that there will be minimal leftovers (reheating and consuming leftovers is not advised, and the risk will vary from person to person).
It is possible to manage these allergies. The incorporation of beef liver, electrolytes and cod liver oil (ever so slowly) can bring about healing from the extreme reactions that require hospitalisation. But please exercise caution with your meats and always consult your physician for your individual medical requirements.
We understand that religious beliefs may impact the food choices for some of our customers and we are respectful to provide options for this also. We have ensured to include a filter system to assist you with your browsing. Firstly, in our Meaty Goodies filter is an option to exclude all pork products from showing in your post code area. This will also exclude all Mixed Meat Boxes that may contain cuts of bacon. Additionally, our How am I Processed filter has a specific option for Halal processed meats. We aim to connect with more suppliers that can cater to religious beliefs and values to better serve our carnivore customers. If you know of any, we’d love to hear from you, just send us an email at info@carnivorelifestyleaustralia.com.au.
