About Hagen's
Hagen’s Organics is a second-generation, family-run butchery based in Melbourne. With five stores located around the city, Hagen’s Organics provides the community with organic, ethically raised and locally sourced meat.
Hagen’s Organics originally began in the 1980’s when Royce and Susan Hagen ran an organic fruit and vegetable store in the Prahran Market. This was at a time when organic produce was a niche product, with a smaller yet, defined and loyal following. Royce and Sue sold premium and locally-grown, certified organic fruits, vegetables and herbs. It wasn’t long before their customer base started encouraging them to retail organic meat.
In 1999 Hagen’s Organics made a shift from fruit and vegetables, to beef, pork, poultry and lamb, with Royce opening Hagen’s Organic Butchers at the Prahran Market. This move meant Royce became one of Victoria’s first organic butchers, working with local farming families to bring Melbournians the best quality meat available.
Hagen’s Organics is working towards a closed loop system, where they are able to supply meat to those who wish to eat in a way that is sustainable and has respect for the land, the animal and the producers.
