About Us
History
OLMC
has now grown into probably the largest organic livestock
marketing co-operative in the UK handling a significant
proportion of finished beef, lamb and store stock. We believe
that central to this continued growth is our decision taken
to contract in specialist resources and abilities from other
Companies, particularly in marketing, stock procurement,
sales and financial controls. This allows us to provide
a professional service nationwide, whilst at the same time
keeping operating costs to a minimum. It has an elected
Board of Directors representing all aspects of organic livestock
production and the meat industry.

The Co-operative
OLMC
is constituted as a Members' Co-operative. Organic livestock
producers are invited to join by purchasing one share. The
running costs of the co-operative are met by a commission
charge on sales of members stock.
By
joining, producers will benefit from our professional range
of services. They will also help to prevent the fragmentation
of the market, which has done so much damage in the past
to conventional producers.
In
its development OLMC has established aims and principles
that have proven to be of value to both its membership and
customers and which include
- OLMC
provides national coverage for the marketing of organic
beef and lamb and has a structured approach to the marketing
of organic livestock. In addition, it operates a proactive
strategy in the procurement and sales of store stock,
both beef and lamb.
- OLMC
gives you the opportunity to have a presence in all
sectors of the organic meat market, mainly multiple
retail, independent retail, butchers and processing.
For many of our major customers OLMC is already accepted
as their first choice supplier.

has a policy of fourteen days payment for all its members’
livestock with 100% insurance policy against bad debt.
- OLMC
offers professional technical advice and provides regular
feedback on the performance of individual members’
livestock (analysis and comparatives of carcass grades
and weights etc.).
- OLMC
has, apart from its own membership, a clear policy of
working with other organic producer groups to help minimise
fragmentation of the supply chain. It also has as supportive
approach toward co-operating with producers, whether
they are large or small.
