Save this for a quick midweek dinner. 30-minute c Save this for a quick midweek dinner.

30-minute coconut Wuuluman regenerative pork curry — one pan, big flavour, and very little effort.

• Wuuluman pork fillet
• red curry paste
• coconut milk
• capsicum + green beans

Cook onion and curry paste, add the Wuuluman pork, then pour in coconut milk and seasoning. Simmer with vegetables for 5–8 minutes and serve with jasmine rice.

Simple, quick, and one you’ll want to make again.
Partridges aren’t native to Australia and they a Partridges aren’t native to Australia and they aren’t established in the wild here. They’re rarely available, with only small, specialised breeding programs — including those on Kangaroo Island — helping keep them on the table.

That’s part of why they matter. If we don’t cook and eat birds like these, it becomes difficult to continue the careful breeding work that keeps them available at all.

From a cooking perspective, partridge is an easy introduction to game. The flavour is delicate — similar to chicken but a little more savoury — and because the birds are small, they roast quickly, usually in around 15–20 minutes. A good option for home cooks who want to try something different without committing to something heavy or strongly gamey.

Partridges are packed in cartons of six and suited to kitchens that enjoy thoughtful, seasonal food.
People sometimes ask why I’m so particular about People sometimes ask why I’m so particular about the farms I work with.

For me, it’s simple — good food starts with healthy land.

The farmers I partner with practice regenerative farming because they’re focused on the long term: healthier soil, stronger ecosystems, and animals raised with care. When the land is looked after, everything else improves too — from resilience in tough seasons to the quality of food on the plate.

This isn’t a trend or a marketing idea. It’s a partnership built on shared values and a belief that how food is grown really matters.

It’s slower work. Quieter work. But it’s the foundation of everything we do at Hand Sourced.
Some people read our website and think our product Some people read our website and think our products are 'too pricey'—and they’re not entirely wrong. Our produce isn’t cheap, and here’s why:

 • We don’t believe in cutting corners. Every animal is raised on a genuine family-owned farm, cared for by dedicated farmers who prioritise animal welfare and land stewardship.
 • No chemicals, no artificial inputs, and no shortcuts—just ethical, sustainable farming.
 • Mass-produced meat may cost less, but it comes at a different kind of price. Quality, taste, and transparency matter, and we ensure that every product meets the highest standards.

Other websites may claim to be farm direct, but think about it—if you receive a farm direct product within days of ordering, that animal couldn’t possibly have still been out on the paddock when you placed your order. Most of our animals are raised to order, living their best lives right up until the time they are selected. The farm-to-table process takes time, and that’s what makes the difference. Exceptional quality is always worth the wait.

Yes, you might pay a little more, but you’re investing in real food—food that supports small farms, respects the land, and delivers unmatched flavour and nutritional value.

Choosing Hand Sourced means choosing ethical, chemical-free, regeneratively farmed produce. It’s about more than just a meal—it’s about knowing where your food comes from and valuing the farmers who make it possible.

If you have any questions about our farms, their practices, or our products, feel free to reach out. We’re committed to helping you understand why heritage farming matters.

Food hubs aren’t all the same — some are in wa Food hubs aren’t all the same — some are in warehouses, some in shops, and some at markets. Some specialise in vegetables, nuts, or grains. We specialise in poultry and meat. But more importantly, we’re about connection: linking farmers, chefs, local businesses, and communities in ways that are fair, ethical, and sustainable.

Over 11 years, we’ve focused on keeping the supply chain short, supporting regenerative and biodynamic farms, and helping small family farms thrive. Our cool rooms store produce from farmers and local growers, ready for anyone who wants access to thoughtfully raised, nutrient-rich food — from domestic kitchens to bulk-buying clubs and food groups.

At Hand Sourced, we love making these connections, supporting ethical farming, and showing just how much care goes into every product. Whether it’s your first order or your hundredth, we appreciate everyone who trusts us to bring the best local produce to their table.
I opened my first Wuuluman Market pork box over th I opened my first Wuuluman Market pork box over the weekend and, honestly, I did a little happy dance. Every part of the box felt like it had been cared for — from the neat, pristine packaging to the way everything was beautifully arranged inside.

It’s a 10kg mixed box, full of a variety of cuts, all from regeneratively raised, fully pastured rare-breed pigs. 

I love knowing the thought that goes into every step — from the happy pigs being raised on a tiny, family-run farm to the hand-packed cartons arriving at my door. Ethical, thoughtful, and food with real context.

For home cooks who want to explore better pork, you’ll love this.
