Consumers deserve access to high quality, ethically grown, and chemical free produce.


Farmers deserve to be paid fairly, and recognised for their unique contribution.

Animals deserve a healthy, active life on natural pasture with as little synthetic intervention as possible (if at all).

 
The results are on the table. 

We are a small food distribution and advocacy company.  Our vision? To create a unique outlet with exemplary service that is rival to none.

We work for, with and beside Australia’s small, sustainable producers who excel in the management of endangered, rare and heritage pigs, sheep, cattle, and poultry.  We place particular emphasis on supporting Australian farmers and growers who have made a commitment to promoting sustainable farming and manufacturing processes.

Because we work with seasonal breeding cycles, we provide only that which is in its prime. Through this, we are able to assist in funding each farmer’s choice to chemical-free, intervention-free farming on clean pastures with sustainable, ethical and regenerative practices; helping launch small-batch producers into the retail and wholesale market at no cost to the farmer. We have no high ongoing operating costs, no high margins, no bulk warehouse. We simply source and supply as demand dictates.

We take the worry out of sourcing ethically raised, sustainable foods that live up to consumer expectation.


We work on full transparency and supply single origin produce only.

This means we do not supply boxed meats or bulk units of cuts. Rather, we encourage you to explore whole carcasses and full animals the way nature intended them to grow.

IT’S NOT ABOUT ORGANICS

Many of our farms run on full bio-dynamic systems. Some are certified organic; others have limited or seasonal produce with yields so small, organic certification becomes cost prohibitive. We guarantee that each farm is family owned, and our produce raised by those that run the land.

We never buy from third parties. Your dollar goes to the producer, meaning you are contributing to an ongoing, sustainable food chain at a local level. Find out more about our farmers, and how you are helping them through your purchase.

Repost • @cheninplonk It’s been raining, raini Repost • @cheninplonk It’s been raining, raining, raining and perfect weather for a Sunday roast. We’ve gone for an heirloom chicken from #sommerlad @handsourced . This one reminded us of the chickens we bought at the markets in Normandy - lean, dark pin feathers, and an obviously spent it’s time foraging in a field. We are matching it with a @domainenudant21 2015 Nudant Jean-René Meursault from the northern part of Burgundy. This Chardonnay has lemon confit on the nose, and has a fresh lemony taste on the palate. A perfect accompaniment.
@ottolenghi’s lamb siniya, just waiting for it’s tahini crust and final bake. #myhousesmellsamazing
Boneless rolled heritage chicken. To stuff or not Boneless rolled heritage chicken. To stuff or not to stuff? We say yes to both !

Cartons of organic @kinmanaorganics Muscovy ducks Cartons of organic @kinmanaorganics Muscovy ducks arrive next week. I’m looking forward to a simple duck breast with Asian greens.  Ahhh that skin!
