Five Founders: Sustainable, Premium Beef with Proven Provenance

Born in the heart of northern Australia, Five Founders is no ordinary beef brand. Raised on the vast cattle stations of the North Australian Pastoral Company (NAPCo)—one of Australia’s oldest and most respected cattle producers—this premium beef is a result of sustainability, quality and Australian heritage.

With over 6.4 million hectares of pristine grazing land and decades of expertise, NAPCo produces beef that’s as good for the plate as it is for the planet.

Five Founders beef is produced from cattle raised on natural pastures and grain-finished for consistency in tenderness, marbling and flavour. The herd features high-quality Wagyu and Wagyu-cross genetics, chosen for their exceptional eating quality.

The result? Rich, juicy, flavoursome beef that’s ideal for chefs seeking top-tier performance—whether it's a chargrilled steak or a low-and-slow braise.

Pioneers in Low-Carbon Beef

Five Founders recognised the impact meat production could be having on the environment and focus on minimising their footprint through proactive, sustainable practices.

Their unique approach to sustainability involves tracking the carbon footprint at every stage of the supply chain and continuous efforts to lower emissions through a combination of initiatives: advancements in cattle genetics, methane-inhibiting supplement trials, soil regeneration, legume crop planting and renewable solar energy projects.

The highly efficient breeding herd and careful supply chain management enables them to lead the charge in reducing both total emissions and emissions intensity. This furthers a responsible and sustainable future for low-carbon beef production.

Fully Traceable, 100% Australian

Every cut of Five Founders beef is 100% Australian and fully traceable back to the station where the animal was raised. This station-to-plate transparency is increasingly important for diners and chefs who want confidence in the origin of their produce—and it’s a core part of what we think sets Five Founders apart.
