Australian Social Enterprises

We are a social enterprise supporting mental health and making Australia’s best beef jerky. We named this business after Adam’s mate Nick, who tragically lost his life to suicide a few years ago. We wanted to do something to make a difference. We are not going to cure cancer or solve climate change. We made the decision to become a social enterprise to do our part with a mandate to give 50% of our profits to organisations helping with mental health. We support Beyond Blue, A Stitch in Time, Mens Talk & Top Blokes though donating 50% of our profits. Our beef jerky is hand-made in small batches by our team of expert butchers and jerky masters.
