For decades we have been farming our free-range pigs in the Great Southern regions of Western Australia, under the beautiful, unspoilt, Porongurup and Stirling Ranges. Our pigs grow up happy and stress-free, benefiting from the clean air and ideal climate. We carefully steward the land, ensuring we preserve for future generations.
We only raise happy animals, who are encouraged to exhibit their natural behaviours whilst enjoying a stress-free life. We believe farming is a privilege, and we work to ensure that the land and our community can continue to support our family farms for future generations. We don’t use antibiotics, growth promoters or other interventions.
Our Philosophy
Production System
Our production systems in place have a direct link into sustainable agriculture, ethical farming, reduced artificial fertilisers and increased cropping yields.
Our pigs spend their entire life outdoors - not all free-range pigs enjoy the outdoors their entire life. We operate a strict two-year rotational strategy to relocate the entire footprint. Once the farm is moved, it is re-cropped with local grains or legumes as part of our regenerative farming commitments.
Plantagenet Pork free range certifications demonstrate our commitment to ensuring high welfare farming practices and a better quality of life for our pigs.
Free Range Certified
Achieving high welfare and stress-free production systems not only improves animal health, but it also influences meat quality.
RSPCA free range approval means that our farms need to meet 322 requirements and signed off by independent auditors. These standards are based on scientific research that continues to evolve.
Plantagenet pigs are fed using locally sourced grains with the inclusion of probiotics and essential oils as part of our focus on enhancing gut health and overall wellbeing of our pigs.
Carbon Farming
Using a solely outdoor free range farming model, our carbon footprint is 30% lower than the industry average. Our farms are all run off grid, this means that they are run entirely by solar. By using the manure and bedding on the land, we reduce the need for artificial fertilisers. Our diets are lower emission helping us to reduce our carbon footprint.
