Our pigs can be found on the Murray River Clay Flats just east of Barham. The small farm is dotted with Shady River Red Gums and lots of smaller regenerating gums. To keep the pigs cool during the warmer months the pigs wallow in the gully that naturally fills with rain runoff. We rotate the pigs between the paddocks and have introduced a rotating crop and pasture system. When the pigs are moved from a paddock we then under sow pasture beneath a crop and send the pigs back in when the paddock has been rested and full ground coverage has been reestablished.  

We feed our pigs a full diet complete with cracked maize, lupins, wheat, barley, lucerne and nuts. We are also lucky to have our friends at Barham Avocados who supply us with the most rich and delicious avocado seconds, citrus peel from the local packing shed and in the cooler months we have chestnuts coming from near Wangaratta. Pigs also eat a lot of dirt! This is where they get a lot of their Iron from and we believe that the high mineral content of clay in our soil at Barham influences the flavour of the pork. We believe that all these factors combined make our pork a little bit unique. 

Rearing the pigs outdoors is the natural environment for the animals. The piglets are born outdoors and live their entire lives outdoors in paddocks, as do all our breeding pigs. Exercise, social interaction and rooting the soil are all essential behaviour patterns allowing us to grow happy healthy pigs. Our pigs are natural fertilisers and land cultivators, which minimises our use of chemical fertilisers and machinery on the land. This makes for a healthy environment and fertile soil.
 
We also manage our pigs to be free of hormones, antibiotics and other nasties, and we do not inject our pork with water or anything else... so you get only the good natural stuff.
