Family run since day one

A butcher that still does things properly

Ranford's is owned and run by Christina and Braden Ranford. The idea is simple: old-fashioned personal service, fresh local produce and award-winning selections, while still embracing where meat retailing is heading.

The team is a cut above too: in 2024 our apprentice Connor Alexander was named Victorian Apprentice of the Year.

What the locals (and a few visitors) say

"The meat cuts are beautifully displayed and of high quality. It was all priced fairly and had a steady stream of customers every time we were there... I'm from Canada and would love to see a shop like this in my neighbourhood."
