Cowtropolis is a meat processing and educational hub supporting the production, labelling and consumption of Toon Beef, originating from the Cattle grazing at Newcastle’s Town Moor. Cowtropolis will support and enhance Newcastle’s agri-food supply sector by promoting its goal: Produce Local, Consume Local.

The Toon Beef Abattoir becomes the epicentre of the scheme; creating jobs for local communities and welcoming public visitors to experience and learn about the slaughter process, as well as discovering the most adequate and humane treatment of cattle prior to slaughter.
