Stalker John Prince is setting up a massive game meat processing plant just off the M4 motorway. It’s called Oakland Park, it opens in August 2024, and it could revolutionise the UK game market. The idea is that you will simply drop off what you’ve shot and get a fair price for it. The meat will be processed in a modern, high-tech facility, and distributed to retailers efficiently, just like other types of food. It could mean pheasant and venison becoming as popular and affordable as chicken and beef.
There’s an open day on the 20th July 2024 – email wildgame@oaklandparks.co.uk if you’d like to attend.
