Owned by Stephanie Trethewey (2024 Tasmanian of the Year) and her husband Sam. In 2022, Stephanie and Sam purchased the former Kentish Quality Meats slaughterhouse near Sheffield in northern Tasmania, and rebranded it as The Local Meat Co. This was proudly stated on their website and social media pages, and in media interviews, and confirmed in ASIC records and domain registrations.

Following the release of damning hidden camera footage on 1 Jan 2024, which revealed extreme cruelty towards cows and sheep in their slaughterhouse, Stephanie frantically attempted to hide evidence of her involvement in the company. Steph and Sam’s names have been removed from the @tas_ag_co account bio on instagram. Comments are disabled on the Tasmanian Agricultural Company Facebook page, which has blocked Farm Transparency Project's account, and the @tas_ag_co instagram has been set to private. The ‘what we do’ and ‘our story’ sections on their website have had key details removed, and the domain registration has been changed from Steph’s name to her husband’s.

Rather than taking accountability for the horrific footage we have exposed, which showed multiple cows, likely from Stephanie and Sam Trethewey’s own farm, being ineffectively stunned and shot multiple times, as well as workers hitting, throwing, shoving, kicking and even headbutting sheep, Stephanie has done everything to try to hide her involvement and minimise backlash.
