Our Philosophy
Organic farming standards demand that we strive to operate on a closed loop, low to no input system. This is our approach to food production. We have come to understand the output limits of our land based on the natural capacities of the soil biota within our microclimate and the livestock that thrive within the system..
Our only input is organic pig feed, which is a great way of productively using excess outputs from other certified organic operations.
Our customers can be assured that not only are they receiving a quality product, but one that is pure and that has kept the depletion of the Earth’s resources to a minimum.
Our Cattle
Our Black Angus thrive on the Channel pastures, supplemented with our own hay in winter.
Some of the cows benefit from even more remote pastures down at Lady Bay.
Our aim is to produce animals ready for slaughter each week with a carcass weight
of approximately 230kg. We have a year round program of breeding and fattening our
own stock, fattening purchased yearlings and processing ready fattened stock.
All Tasmanian and all certified organic.
Our Pigs
We breed Wessex Saddleback pigs. They are all born and
raised in a free range system and are fed on organic grain, potatoes, dairy and our apples
Our Orchard
The Channel is prime apple growing country with cold winters and mild to warm summers.
We can take advantage of this natural situation to grow beautiful natural fruit in our small orchard. What we can’t eat, our pigs gobble up..
