What’s happened? I’ve heard you’ve closed Fat Pig Farm?

We’ve just closed the restaurant. In mid-January 2023 we made the grand decision to slow down a bit and, from mid-May 2023, cease hosting Farm Feasts. Yep, that’s a big deal. But we’re excited.

On Friday 19th May, we hosted our last Feast… for now. We may be a little quiet for a few months, but rest assured we are farming the same land, feeding ourselves and a few mates with delicious fresh produce and contemplating what comes next.

We give an enormous and heartfelt thanks to everyone who has shared the journey with us so far including our brilliant team of gardeners, cooks, front of house staff, administrators, farm-hands and others over the years. As always, we applaud the local producers and thank them for their expertise and wisdom. We thank our neighbours for being part of this busy but beautiful ride and, we have constantly delighted in our interested and intriguing guests.

We feel immensely lucky. So now, we rest.

Matthew, Sadie and everyone at Fat Pig Farm

What if I want to know more?

It may be, that there is nothing more to know for a while. Our Events page may list a few gatherings or other opportunities to visit the farm or see us out and about. Our email hello@fatpig.farm will be checked regularly and we will endeavor to respond as soon, and as comprehensively, as we can. The newsletters will continue to flow so that’s the best way to stay up to date.

Can I book Matthew Evans for speaking engagements or corporate gigs interstate?

Yes, you sure can. Matthew can be booked through Speaking Out for speaking and cooking engagements.

Can I still buy a Fat Pig Farm tea towel?

For now, we have temporarily closed our online shop. Sadie is determined to stay as close to home as possible, so trips to the post office will be less frequent and the computer will only be turned on when completely necessary. We’ll let you know via the newsletter if we’re re-opening the shop – perhaps for an occasional hamper!
