Three generations
How we got here
1940s
During and after World War II, Antonio Scarfo owned a market garden in Balcatta, and passed his knowledge to his two sons, Joe and Pat.
1975
Joe and Pat established the Odin Road Growers Market on 10 acres of land – a new concept of selling directly to consumers, and the start of the family’s deep-rooted love for the community.
1990s
Following the Scarfo tradition, Joe’s son Tony pursued butchery from age 15. Joe believed in his son and registered the family name. Tony completed his apprenticeship and bought his first shop at age 20 on Jones Street in Balcatta.
1999
Tony approached his father to join him in a new shop, moving south of the Swan River to open Scarfo’s Meating Place in Melville Central – with his father by his side. They see each other as best friends as much as father and son.
Today
Together the father-and-son team have won many state and national awards for their sausages, and those trophies fill a display cabinet in the shop. With decades of experience between them, the business continues to thrive – with family and community at its heart.
Family is at the heart of our business
Quality and community
From market gardening and selling directly to local families, to award-winning butchery and personalised service, the Scarfo name has always stood for quality and community. We hope to see you down at the Meating Place – and welcome you into the Scarfo’s family.
