OUR Members

In November 2018, Nick and Kelly Fox purchased Basecamp and run this as a small family-run business. Nick is a qualified butcher with over 20 years experience in all aspects of butchering. Basecamp continue to manufacture smoked salamis and small goods for retail as well as hunters and lifestyle block owners. With Nick’s experience, Basecamp is proud to offer these full meat processing services alongside the traditional smoked goods.

Basecamp Salamis can be found at markets throughout the waikato, at the Kaiwaka Cheese shop, and The Cheese Barn at Matatoki. Basecamp also attends events like the NZME Homeshows and Women’s Lifestyle Expo’s, Martinbourgh, Cental Fieldays and Mystery Creek Fieldays and many more.  Subscribe to our emails for updates or follow us on facebook/instagram.

Basecamp salami and small goods can be purchased on-line and couriered to your door. We offer free shipping on orders over $100. Locals are welcome to purchase directly from us at our factory at 38 Grammer Road, Katikati.

Meat Processing
Basecamp manufactures for both hunters’ game and domesticated farm animals. Carcasses can be hung directly in the Hunters chiller or dropped off boned and frozen or sent using the freight forward system. Check out the freight forward service for those people out of our region. Check out the Hunters page.

Basecamp is registered with the Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) as a Duel Operator Butchery, MPI Service Provider Listing.

Basecamp Smoke House
Smoking salamis is a craft which takes years to master.  A good smoke will produce a salami that is consistently cooked through out with a rich colouring on the outside. All Basecamp salamis and small goods are all hand made and smoked. Basecamps products are not boiled as many commercial salami products are these days. Using traditional smoking techniques takes time but the outcome speaks for itself.  Basecamp salamis age in the traditional manner, loosing moisture and becoming firmer and fuller in flavour as they age. Basecamp smoked products contain NO fillers and are gluten, dairy and soy free.
