How We Farm
Three generations of family farming, combined with modern science and a commitment to doing things better for our animals, our people and our environment.
Animal Welfare
From adaptive farrowing systems to early piglet socialisation to a culture of care across our team, animal welfare is at the heart of how we farm.
Breeding
Healthy pigs start with good genetics. Our Danish Hybrid F1 sow herd is bred in-house through selective breeding, giving us a robust herd suited to our system and tight control of biosecurity.
Sustainability & Efficiency
We invest in renewable energy and circular farming solutions, transforming agricultural by-products into valuable resources while improving efficiency across our farms.
Research & Innovation
Our dedicated R&D team works with university partners on research trials, using data and science to improve animal health, performance and environmental outcomes.
Milling
Good pork starts with good feed. Our on-site feed mill makes customised rations for every stage of life, with every ingredient checked and every batch traceable from mill to farm.
