Our pork is from heritage breed large black, berkshire and saddleback cross, hand reared on our farm.
See our Pork Brochure
We think our pork is the best in Australia. We know that's a big claim! Here's what makes it so special and unique:Buy pork or mutton from us, and you can join the RSPCA 'choose wisely' initiative, letting your loyal customers and future customers know you are part of ethical eating.
- Heritage Breed - our pigs are from 3 Heritage pig breeds, combining famed rare Large Black, Wessex Saddleback and Berkshire.
- 100% organic pig farm - only one of a handful in Australia. Our boar (Bono) and sows (Ebony and Princess) are organically raised
- Freedom - large areas to roam and play naturally and be healthy out in the open - lots of pasture, greens and mud too.
- Happy - Hand raised, natural stress free life from birth up until their last moments (we are even there helping during birth), lots of scratches and love
- No mutilations - we do not clip tails, ears, tusks, no nose rings etc
- Tiny production - to maintain the highest standard, and keep our sows healthy and happy, they are bred only once per year
- Best feed - human grade organic food only, most grown on site, no scraps or food we wouldn't eat ourselves
- Clean, high fibre diet - no 'boar taint' or 'porky stink'
- Secret recipe diet - you are what you eat, and this goes for pork too. A hand selected diet ensures health and optimum flavour
- Learn from the best - following the traditions of the World's finest pork producers (Iberico Spain, Corsica and Parma) with our own Aussie twist.
- No waste fillers - We don't feed the standard soy, corn, or cotton trash, rye, fish meal or meat meal waste
- Unadulterated pork - the final product does not have water pumped in to add weight and plumpness like in much standard pork
Our pigs daily banquet
Some parts of our pigs diet will remain secret, however we can tell you it includes:- Organic Chestnuts and acorns - which add a nutty flavour
- Organic milk - gives a lactic milky sweetness
- Organic Grain 1 - helps firm the fat and adds sweetness
- Organic Grain 2 - deepens the flavour
- Organic Grain 3 - provides energy and protein
- Organic Fruit 1 - improves the mouth-feel and butteriness of the fat
- Organic Fruit 2 and 3 - gives a lovely fruity flavour to the meat
- Organic Fruit 4 and Veg 1 - helps stop 'boar taint' (which can affect sows too) giving a clean taste
- Organic Seaweed extract, Bio-char, Minerals - for good health
- A wide variety of other organic grasses and vegetables as well
This is based on average types of pork production, some producers may go above and beyond.
