Hagen's Organics — Local services in Melbourne

Paid $42 today for 2 chicken breasts and a dozen eggs. Bit ridiculous so will be our last time getting ripped off here. Was in another shop in Prahran a little later (not a food shop) and was chatting to my son about how crazy the price was. The shop assistant and another customer overheard me complaining about paying $12.50 PER chicken breast and they asked if it was Hagen’s meats I was talking about… No jokes! They both had similar experiences, one with a small chicken priced at over $60 and the other punter had also been ripped off before. We have mainly had the salt bush lamb and duck in the past the latter having alway been fine; the former hit and miss. Once had putrid Mortadella. Never again now they have priced themselves out of the market. We are not cheap with food and get all of our fresh produce at Prahan market (Gary’s meats and Claringbold’s fish etc) however Hagen’s are taking the Michael so to speak...

Hagens Organic Butcher: Where Quality Meets Sustainability

Dedicated to nourishing the body with quality product Hagens Organic Butcher knocks it out of the park. Offering incredible organic meat from local farms, that's both ethically raised and tastes amazing.

What I love most about Hagens is their commitment to sustainability. They even have "Sustainable Sundays" where you bring your own container and save 10% on your purchase (up to $10)! It's a win-win -win - you, the conscious economy and the environment.

Highly recommend a visit to their Prahran Market location (or any of their 5locations across Melbourne) for a truly delicious and ethical...

Bought a whole chicken from Hagen’s in Prahran Market yesterday and asked the butcher to split it up for me. This is what I got (see photos).

Instead of breast, thighs, drumsticks etc (like how normal butchers do it), they carelessly chopped up a whole chicken into 16 little pieces with the carcass still attached.

I couldn’t make heads or tails of what was what. You can tell from one of the photos that they actually gave me one and a half drumsticks - no idea where the rest of it went.

After spending $37 dollars on a whole chicken I’m left without a single piece or cut that I can make out much less use. A massive thumbs down...
