Philosophy
Our farm philosophy and practices are directly linked to our personal beliefs. We are artisan producers not commodity producers. Our pork and pork products reflect the region and environment they come from.
Our key aim for our farm and business is to produce the best tasting pork from the highest welfare pigs on a farm that builds and regenerates the land and soil.
At Amber Creek Farm we practice ethical and regenerative farming.
As a result our animals are free to roam and are able to express their inherent behaviours. We are not leaving a legacy of denuded land and environmental problems for future generations to repair. On the contrary, we are sequestering carbon, reducing waste, improving and building soil biology, planting trees, protecting and increasing habitat for wildlife and reducing nutrient run off into waterways.
Positive impact
Creating fertile soil, sequestering carbon, creating habitat, generating local economic activity and engaging with the local community.
No waste
Regarding everything as a resource.
Regenerative
Using the pigs normally destructive habits of digging with their faces to create compost and build soil health and volume.
Local
