OUR STORY
Family-Owned Business
With a love for great food, cooking and the outdoors our intentions had always been to turn our passion into a business. Never did we imagine we would be running a pig farm responsible for supplying not only some of Australia's best restaurants but also direct to the tables of families such as our own.
ABOUT BARONGAROOK PORK
Having commenced operations in 2014 at our small 16 acre property in Barongarook it wasn't long before we were soon looking at options to secure more land for our growing herd. Fast forward, and not only has our business grown, we've also moved to a new 175 acre farm based at Irrewarra. Along the way we've been lucky enough to be involved in numerous projects promoting better land and water management and have shared our story with other like minded farmers who, have not only a love of farming and animals but also work towards regenerative agriculture or organic farming methods.
We now run a large herd of rare breed Berkshire and Duroc pigs while still sticking with our original vision of allowing pigs to simply be pigs. We run an open paddock farm and provide cool fresh water, shelter and warm bedding. Our pigs are fed a specially formulated vegetarian pellet mix and are often treated to organic buttermilk and the occasional apple that falls from our small orchard.
