Fat Pig Farm
Nestled in a narrow gully near the Huon River, Fat Pig Farm is where Matthew Evans and Sadie Chrestman raise 30 grass grazing, dirt digging Wessex Saddleback pigs, a few pocket rocket lowline angus and a couple of dairy cows. The farm runs as a restaurant every Friday, and we run hands-on cooking and gardening workshops on occasion, too. We've grafted an old orchard with new (well actually really old) varieties and planted a new orchard and vegie garden, as well as built a micro-dairy on site.
If that makes you hungry, you can buy our goodies, including ham and bacon and sourdough baguettes at Salamanca Market. Or sign up to our newsletter by clicking on the envelope and we'll let you know about events on the farm.
