What You Can Expect From Us

Regenerative Practices

The way we farm improves land function, the ecology and biodiversity. All decisions we make - from how we farm and what we farm, to how much we produce - are made through a lense of regeneration.

We’re Chemical Free!

That means we don’t spray out pastures, we don’t vaccinate our animals, we don’t use wormers, antibiotics, hormones or anything else that’s become standard practice in the industrial system.

Ethically Produced Meat

Our practices encourage our animals to express their innate behaviours and live as close to a natural existence as possible. We provide the best life we possibly can and ensure they only have one bad day.

We deliver Australia Wide

We deliver to nearly 10,000 suburbs around Australia every week. Each order is delivered in a box with thermal liner so you don’t have to stress about your meat delivery. Find more delivery information here

Transparency!

Know your farmer and know how your food is being produced. We’re an open book - if you have any questions all you need to do is reach out! Otherwise follow us on social media to see what’s happening day-to-day.

Discover Our Pasture Raised Chicken

At Hillside Food Forest, we take pride in offering pasture raised chicken that goes beyond organic standards. Our chickens are raised on lush pastures, where they roam freely in open-floored mobile coops. Daily movement ensures they have access to fresh bedding and a diverse diet, allowing them to express natural behaviours like dust-bathing and foraging.

Our commitment to regenerative farming means our pasture raised chicken not only provides high-quality meat but also plays a vital role in enhancing soil fertility. We feed our chickens a non-medicated, corn-free, and low soy diet, prioritising their health and the health of our land. This approach ensures that our chickens grow naturally, without the use of quick-fattening feeds.

Experience the difference with our pasture raised chicken—a choice that's good for the chickens, the soil, and for you. Support our small, regenerative farm and enjoy ethically produced meat delivered straight to your door.

Pasture Raised Pork Trotter

Our Pasture Raised Pork

Our pigs are truly special! We breed and raise the critically rare heritage breed known as the Tamworth pig. These pigs thrive in outdoor farming environments like ours, making them perfect for producing exceptional pasture raised pork. Unfortunately, their rarity is partly due to their unsuitability for confinement, which is why we are committed to preserving this breed through our regenerative practices.

Expect pastured pork unlike anything you've tasted before, with a rich, sweet flavor and a higher fat content that retains moisture far better than mass-produced pork. In 2024, our pasture raised pork was nominated for the Delicious. Harvey Norman Produce Awards, advancing to state judging by some of Australia's most renowned chefs.

Our pigs are our heavy impact team, excelling in weed removal and pasture creation. They have successfully cleared acres of blackberries and serrated tussock, all while aerating and fertilising the soil as they perform their vital work. Experience the difference with our ethically produced pastured pork, and support our mission to deliver high-quality, chemical-free food.

Our Grass Fed Beef

Our beef herd is a unique blend of Murray Grey and Black Angus cattle, led by our smaller Lowline Black Angus Bull. This strategic breeding program helps us reduce the finishing weight of our cattle, enhancing their ability to thrive on pasture alone. This ensures our grass fed beef is not only delicious but also sustainable, minimising the environmental impact of a heavier frame.

At Hillside Food Forest, we are dedicated to producing high-quality grass fed grass finished beef. Our cattle are never fed grain, and we avoid common practices like vaccination, deworming (drenching), and castration. This approach guarantees that our beef is raised naturally, aligning with our ethical and regenerative farming principles.

Experience the rich flavour and superior quality of our grass fed grass finished beef, raised with care and respect for both the animals and the land. Support our mission to provide chemical-free, sustainable food by choosing our ethically produced beef.
