We believe that changing the way we produce and distribute food is fundamental to solving the world’s most pressing social and ecological problems.
Hi I am Keeley and I run a 1.5 acre market garden at Fat Pig Farm in southern Tasmania. At the heart of this business is a desire to grow food with as much conscious effort and care for the Earth as possible, providing the local community with food that is nutritiously dense, seasonal and organic. My aim is to build up the resilience of the land: both at the microscale of an individual bed, to the scale of the whole garden, so that we can be better equipped to deal with the challenges of pests, diseases and weather.
We pay our suppliers at least 50% of the retail value for any products we buy in, and when dealing with wholesalers, we check to make sure they pay fair prices to their growers.
Local food supports local economies. Food grown in the local community supports local jobs and encourages variety in our diets. It also requires less transportation, so it's fresher and has a smaller environmental footprint.
It is a movement I believe in with values that I respect, that connects People to an Environment of Amazing Food and Purpose.
