Join us as we delve into the remarkable journey of Clayton’s Organic Beef as it traverses from farm to international export, shaping the future of organic agriculture worldwide.


For Clayton Sargood, sustainability isn’t merely a concept—it’s a way of life deeply ingrained in every aspect of his farming practices. “My father became very ill as a result of using chemical sprays on the farm, and as a result, our family pursued certified organic status” reflects Sargood. “We’ve never looked back and are now seeing the benefits organic farming has to our animals, the environment and the superior beef we are able to produce.”


As awareness of the importance of sustainable and organic food grows globally, so does the demand for premium-quality products like Clayton’s Organic Beef. Recognising this trend, Clayton’s embarked on a journey to expand its reach beyond Australian borders. “We saw an opportunity to share our commitment to sustainability with a broader audience,” explains Sargood. “And we knew that exporting our beef was the next logical step.”


Breaking into international markets presented its own set of challenges. From navigating trade regulations to establishing distribution networks, the path to global export was fraught with obstacles. Yet, armed with determination and a dedication to excellence, Clayton’s Organic Beef overcame these hurdles, paving the way for its triumphant entry into the global arena. Rigorous quality control measures ensure that every cut of beef meets the highest standards of taste, tenderness, and nutritional value.


Clayton’s Organic Beef’s journey to international export has seen its products embraced by diverse cultures and palates across the globe. “We’ve been exposed to a myriad of cultural nuances in key markets across the globe” Clayton explains. “Each market presents unique challenges and opportunities.”


Clayton’s Organic Beef are currently exporting to the USA, Singapore, Hong Kong, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Korea, Switzerland, Thailand and Japan.


As Clayton’s continues to expand its global footprint, Sargood remains committed to driving innovation and sustainability in every facet of the business. “Our journey is far from over,” he remarks. “We’re constantly exploring new ways to reduce our environmental impact, enhance animal welfare, and deliver exceptional beef to consumers worldwide.”

Why Choose Organic Beef?

By Lauren Branch • March 1, 2023
Organic beef has become increasingly popular in recent years due to concerns about the health and environmental impact of conventional meat production. But why is eating organic beef beneficial for your health? Firstly, organic beef is free from synthetic hormones, antibiotics, and other harmful chemicals that are commonly used in conventional meat production. These chemicals can be harmful to human health, and have been linked to a range of health problems, including antibiotic resistance, hormone disruption, and cancer. In contrast, organic beef is produced using natural, sustainable farming methods that promote the health and welfare of the animals. This means that the animals are free to graze on grass, rather than being confined to feedlots and fed a diet of grain, which can be harmful to their health. In addition, organic beef is typically higher in nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and beta-carotene, which are essential for maintaining good health. These nutrients are found in higher quantities in grass-fed beef, which is the primary source of organic beef. Moreover, organic beef is produced in a way that is more environmentally sustainable than conventional meat production. This is because organic farmers use fewer chemicals and pesticides, and promote soil health and biodiversity, which helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve water quality. Finally, by choosing organic beef, you are supporting sustainable farming practices and promoting animal welfare, which are important factors for many consumers. Organic beef is typically more expensive than conventional beef, but the benefits to your health and the environment make it a worthwhile investment. In conclusion, eating organic beef is beneficial for your health, as it is free from harmful chemicals and higher in essential nutrients. Additionally, choosing organic beef supports sustainable farming practices and promotes animal welfare, which are important considerations for many consumers. So next time you’re in the market for beef, consider making the switch to organic!
