We chose not to include the widely used preservative in our products* because we believe that raising a young family means providing the most natural real foods. Ham and bacon usually contains nitrates and preservatives, food and colour additives and flavourings and we weren't comfortable feeding that to our kids so we tried making them without it and it was good! The taste is slightly different but still delicious and being a natural product means less free-radicals that cause cancer and immune system problems.
*Please note that our Mortadella and "Really Good Ham" products have the minimum amount of nitrate possible based on Australian Food Standards.
We cannot send pork in the mail. Please see courier schedules for more details below in the Home Delivery dispatch policy section. Please email us if you are unable to purchase based on your shipping address and we will endeavour to find a courier solution.
We don't need to post goods out, due to connected refrigerated freight networks.
Our farm is farmed using regenerative practices, focusing on soil health, biodiversity, and working with nature. We are not certified organic due to the cereal content of the pigs diet and we do not crop ourselves. This natural way of farming follows moon cycles and uses soil preparations including 500 and on-farm made composts. These practices combined improves the health of the soil, which then grows healthy plants and thus healthy animals. We only use un-certified organic grains and legumes to feed the pigs their supplementary feed and beautiful mineral and vitamin rich avos, oranges and pumpkins from local growers when they are in season. Most importantly we do not use meat proteins, meaning our pigs are vegetarians. We think this is the best way of farming and growing very tasty animals for meat.
Yes of course! We have an open farm policy, and coordinate several farm tours a year. Visitors must wear clean shoes and not visit another pig farm on the same day because of bio-security reasons. We welcome visitors to the farm and are well equipped for small to large farm tours and farm sales. Please follow us on Instagram or Facebook to keep in the loop on dates of upcoming farm tours.
Yes, our favourite way of getting our meat out there is at the farmers' market at Castlemaine, on the first Sunday of each month. We sometimes attend the Wednesday market at Castlemaine and suggest you follow us on Instagram or Facebook to keep in the loop of any extra farmers' market attendances.
