How our farming practices ensure you get top quality
Your Farmer’s use a combination of Biodynamics and Rotational grazing. These two processes help us maintain the best soil quality – the foundation for all nutritional food.
Soil quality – the foundation for all nutritional food
Our practices are designed to bring balance to all life on the farm, in particular the soil. They help build microbial populations that promote the best soil quality. The result is a healthy soil and nutritional pasture.
The Biodynamic preparations are sprayed out over the farm twice per year, in spring and autumn. These are designed to bring balance to all life on the farm, in particular the soil. They help build microbial populations in the soil and bring life and vitality back to our old Australian soils.
Healthy and happy stock – it shows in our meat
Our cattle are rotated around their “cells” every two to three days. This means that over the span of a year our livestock spend only 3-4 days per season in each paddock! The other days a year our paddocks are allowed to rest and rejuvenate. The result is a healthy soil, and nutritional pasture. Furthermore diseases associated with animals spending all their days in the same paddock are eliminated, meaning a healthier and safer product for you.
Ecologically sustainable – we work with nature not against it
Our methods are designed to pass the test of time. By enhancing our farm’s biodiversity we don’t need to add chemicals that contaminate the produce or the environment.
Because we always have grass for our cows to feed on we do not need to buy in food, they are grass fed their entire life which means added health benefits to you. For more information please take a look at Health Benefits of Grass-Fed Products.
Rotational grazing
- Paddocks are rested for lengthy periods of time
- Grass is able to grow longer, with greater root depth. This enriches the soil.
- Stock always have fresh grass to eat, they don’t get sick and are not forced to eat around their own manure
Biodynamic farming
- Horn Manure Preparation (500) is used to enliven the soil, increasing the microflora and availability of nutrients and trace elements. Through it the root growth, in particular, is strengthened in a balanced way, especially the fine root hairs. Horn Manure 500 helps in developing humus formation, soil structure and water holding capacity.
- Horn Silica Preparation (501) enhances the light and warmth assimilation of the plant, leading to better fruit and seed development with improved flavour, aroma, colour and nutritional quality.
- Compost Preparations (502 to 507), known collectively as the compost preparations, help the dynamic cycles of the macro- and micro-nutrients, via biological processes in the soil and in material breakdown.
