Barwon Valley Smallgood’s story starts individually with Damien & Andrew each completing butchery apprenticeships at a pretty young age.

The Farmers Place  is a partnership between two great butchers, Damien Batties & Andrew Beeston. Barwon Valley Smallgood’s story starts individually with Damien & Andrew each completing butchery apprenticeships at a pretty young age.

Damien’s interest in small-goods was sparked while working at a Gourmet Butchers in South Melbourne where he was taught the art of small-goods making. Upon opening his own venture Damien was drawn back to the love of the craft he had been taught and decided to make his own smoked products. Experimentation and many trial and error recipes has led to some exciting and ultimately award winning results.
