Our Mission
At Chef2Farmer our aim is to farm with a deep respect to animals. The pasture raised hens, pigs and cattle live on the freshest pasture, in their natural environments, foraging, digging, scratching and grazing all day every day, full of sunshine and vitamin D.
The animals are moved daily throughout our property onto fresh salad bar of grasses, legumes, forbes, native species, brassicas (kale, turnips, swede, and radish). This not only improves the landscape to collect and hold water and minimise soil run off but also increases the biodiversity.
We aim to mimic nature by using multiple species of plants and animals to create a diverse ecosystem to cycle the nutrients, minerals, water and manure. We do this by using holistic planned grazing.
Regenerative farming practise encourages the resurgence of smaller family-run farms like Chef2Farmer which helps ensures the provision for local food direct from farm to customers efficiently with low food miles.
Using the animals’ natural behaviours as a tool to regenerate the pastures in turn reduces the need to use machinery and diesel decreasing pollution output.
Our farming methods are about improving our pastures and most importantly the soil. Capturing solar energy to grow as much good quality pasture as we can.
Our Produce
100% grass fed & finished beef, pasture raised eggs, pork & chicken.
Chemical free, raised with care & ethically produced all while improving our land.
100% Pasture Raised and Finished Beef.
Grass fed beef is better for you and for our environment. Cows stomachs are designed to eat grass not grain – Its that simple.
Being 100% grass fed but also holistically managed means our cattle have a well balanced diet the way nature intended in turn making a delicious, tender & nutrient dense product.
Our cattle are cared for right up to the end, with the professional team at Port Meat Store, processing, cutting and packaging our meat.
100% Pasture Raised Chicken.
Our chickens arrive as day old Cornish Cross chicks, they are safe and warm in a brooder house until they are fully feathered. We then move out onto fresh pastures and are moved daily. They are fed a hormone & Chemical free grains & as many grubs as they can find! They are processed locally by a small family owned Abattoir.
