Elassona Farm is once again showing its willingness to innovate with the creation of Greece’s first butcher’s shop with packaged meat that conforms with the highest standards. At this great-looking modern butcher’s, quality and tradition meet the latest food trends.
Our attractive new shop is situated in the historic Modiano market in Thessaloniki, which opens its doors in October 2022 and is set to become one of Greece’s hottest culinary destinations.
Elassona Farm is located in the foothills of Mount Olympus, and brings to the table Greek meat of unique quality that is fit for the gods. A completely natural environment, respect for the animals, a strong relationship with trusted farmers, and a state-of-the-art production unit ensure the highest standards for every product at every stage of production.
Elassona Farm endorses the Farm to Fork strategy that is at the heart of the European Green Deal and is fully aligned with the goals set by the European Commission for a sustainable future.

With absolute respect for the protection of the environment and bearing in mind the long-term cultural changes that the concept of sustainability requires, Elassona Farm is pursuing a fully sustainable policy.
Elassona Farm has the only certified abattoir in Greece for Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) lamb and goat from Elassona.
These unique rare breeds are reared according to extremely strict specifications and give high-quality meat with a taste and texture influenced by specific characteristics of the area.
Characteristics: The meat is tender and succulent with a signature taste and pleasant aroma. They have low overall fat, a higher proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids than other lambs and goats, and more linolenic acid.
The animals are fed exclusively on mother’s milk.
They come from sheep and goats that graze within a limited mountainous and semi-mountainous geographical area. Sixty per cent of the area is made up of pastures where a wide variety of grasses, herbs, and aromatic plants grow.
