Meet Shirley — Shirley Harring is the founder of Hand Sourced, a business on a mission to change the way people source and consume meat. Based in Stanley, Victoria, Hand Sourced connects ethical Australian farmers with conscientious consumers who want meat that has been bred, raised and processed without harmful chemicals or interventions.

Through her work, Shirley champions small, boutique producers who breed, raise and process on farm — maintaining a fully transparent, chemical-free supply chain from conception to finished product. Every farmer Hand Sourced works with is chosen for their commitment to animal welfare, environmental stewardship and quality.

For over a decade, Shirley has been a passionate advocate for ethical food systems and sustainable farming practices. Her approach ensures that consumers not only enjoy a superior, healthier product, but also contribute to the long-term viability of farms that reject large-scale, intensive production methods.

Ethical, honest and transparent, Shirley is helping shape a more sustainable and humane future for Australia’s meat industry — one farm, one customer and one meal at a time.
