Giant Muscovy Duck

Just landed: Kangaroo Island game birds — partri Just landed: Kangaroo Island game birds — partridge.

These stunning little birds come from the dedicated team at Heritage Hill, raised with the same care and home-grown diet as our pheasants — Kangaroo Island grain, corn, comfrey, spinach and kale — and plenty of room to roam under tree canopies. The result? Beautiful quality and exceptional flavour.

Partridge has a delicate, slightly sweet taste with gentle gamey notes. It’s incredibly hard to find in Australia, and Heritage Hill produces only small amounts each season.

Available now in cartons of 6 or 8 birds.

Just landed: Kangaroo Island game birds — pheasa Just landed: Kangaroo Island game birds — pheasant and partridge.

These beautiful birds come from the dedicated team at Heritage Hill, who raise them with real care. They’re nourished on a home-grown diet of corn, pure Kangaroo Island grain, comfrey, spinach and kale, and roam freely under tree canopies instead of being kept in cages. You can taste the difference.

Pheasant is a true delicacy — lean white meat, gently gamey, subtly sweet, and wonderfully versatile. Roast, braise, or pot-roast… it’s hard to go wrong.

Available now in cartons of three birds.

This was just proclaimed the "most delicious thing This was just proclaimed the "most delicious thing I've ever eaten". What is it?

It's a gluten-free 100% natural additive and preservative free heritage chicken meatloaf. And it's delicious.

Kath says... "The two I bought were already cooked and caramelised beautifully so I just removed them from the foil, popped on a tray, drizzled over some olive oil and roasted at 180 c for 25 minutes. I’ll definitely be buying again that’s for sure …"
If you're not sure whether or not to add these han If you're not sure whether or not to add these handmade venison schnitzels to your next venison order, then let me give you a tip – they are bloody delicious! 

No added nasties - just a venison steak coated in breadcrumbs, dried parsley, garlic powder, and a generous handful of Parmesan cheese in every crumb. My family have given them the thumbs up and I know you will too.
Just in time for Christmas – beautiful #BroodyGo Just in time for Christmas – beautiful #BroodyGoose Pekin ducks. What a delicious addition to the Christmas table. 🦆🍽️
