Fat Pig Farm

Here we go again! It’s the final week for the Hanging Garden Grocer market @inthehanginggarden for the foreseeable future so we’ve pulled out all the beefy stops. Chunky beef pies, luxurious bone broth and free range tallow will be available from our stall this week. We’re also bringing the classics such as rillettes, salami, apple wood smoked bacon and the list goes on!

You can find us there all day on Saturday so come and say g’day :)

If you haven’t been down to check it out, there’s a wonderful collective of local producers and growers to choose from. A massive thanks to @themeatroom @yolandapeas @jocookfood and all the crew who helped pull it all together.

See you there!

This is Myrtle. She is one of our beloved Jersey cows who turns grass into rich creamy milk for us to drink. It’s the best! What is the future of dairy? Not all cows live quite the life Myrtle leads and certainly not all steers destined for the pot spend their days on fresh green grass. If you occasionally use the words ethical and eating in the same sentence, then we have the perfect podcast documentary for you. @slowstreamfarm teamed up with Rachel Khoo to make A Carnivore’s Crisis in order to answer a whole bunch of interesting questions about the future of meat and dairy and the future of food in general. It gets more and more interesting with each episode. It’s available on Audible along with Matthew’s book On Eating Meat.

Colombian inspired beef empanadas from last Saturday’s Feast. Fried in beef fat. Slightly spicy and incredibly yum, thanks to chef Juan. Saved a handful for staff drinks.
