Farm Visit - Southampton Homestead
Event description
This is a 120 acre family farm is triple-heritage listed and located on the banks of the Blackwood River. It produces pasture-raised chickens and ducks from paddock to plate using ecological, ethical and stress-free farming methods. This farm received an award in 2016 for Innovation in Sustainable Farm Practices. The chickens and ducks on the farm follow a herd of grazing cows – a practice known as Holistic Management which basically mimics nature using animals to build soil and grasses. Apart from a diet of insects, soil, diverse perennial pasture the birds are also fed a supplement of fermented feed to develop their gut bacteria and to provide additional protein.
The logo of Southampton farm is “it’s all alive, it’s all intelligent and it’s all connected”
