About
Cannings Free Range Butchers is a Melbourne butcher with a simple, non-negotiable standard: it stocks only free-range, high-welfare meat. The South Yarra shop sits at 670 Chapel Street and carries beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, house-made sausages and even free-range barramundi, with cuts and recipe ideas to match.
The business frames its work around three pillars: integrity in how the meat is raised, transparency about where it comes from, and a sense of purpose that puts ethical practice and community ahead of pure profit. It is one of several Cannings stores across Melbourne.
