Tia (Mike & Glenda’s daughter) is the final part of the trio who started at the Otago Farmers Markets back in 2003. Tia juggled her own hospitality business and the farmers market for several years before heading overseas. Fast forward 10-years and she is back in the driver’s seat of the Bacon Buttie Station. Tia and her team take Mike's meat and turn it into something delicious and hearty, creating a lasting experience.

Mike aka the Bacon Buttie man began carving meat, under his father’s guidance, at the tender age of 17. Inspired by his Dutch heritage Mike began to dabble in specialist products, which included bacon, and for the last 28 years he has been curing it the traditional way from his butcher shop in Halfway Bush. He bones, cures, smokes, slices and packs. His guarantee is 100% quality and 100% meat.

Glenda (Mikes wife/Tia’s mum) as the saying goes “behind every successful man, is a great woman” this couple is no exception. You can be sure to find her at the butcher shop cleaning, preparing and organizing. Although she prefers to stay in the background her role is vital to keeping the business running and their recipes secret.
