About
Greenham's Smithton plant sits on Bacon Factory Road in north-west Tasmania and is part of HW Greenham & Sons, a sixth-generation Australian family business that has operated in beef since 1933. Smithton is one of three export-accredited processing facilities the company runs across southern Australia, alongside Tongala and Gippsland in Victoria. The plant draws on Tasmania's pasture country, where cattle are largely grass-fed.
This is a cattle buyer and beef processor rather than a retail butcher shop. Greenham buys livestock year-round from producers across Tasmania and turns it into premium beef brands that are supplied to restaurants and retailers in Australia and across roughly 25 export markets worldwide. For farmers, the Smithton operation offers cattle buying teams, transparent pricing grids and prompt payment.

Tasmanian cattle producers looking to sell liveweight to an established, family-owned processor, and buyers seeking grass-fed Tasmanian beef at scale.
