Rohan and Fiona Morris are part of a growing number of farmers ‘doing things differently’ by selling meat products directly from his farm. Between bisset bluegrass fields and belts of bushland that stretch to steep peaks on the foothills of Queensland’s Scenic Rim, farmer Rohan Morris checks on his free-range pigs. They can quickly turn lush pasture to scars of hardened soil. But if managed carefully, Morris says, the landscape can tolerate and even benefit from their hard hooves.
The pigs have a better quality of life than in a piggery, and the pork is more nutritious and tastes better too. When a pig is ready for slaughter, it’s sent from the small-scale organic farm to a local abattoir and butchered (Morris is planning to build an abattoir on-farm) before it’s distributed by Morris and his wife Fiona to about 60 families in south-east Queensland who pay a subscription for a mix of beef and pork cuts each month. It costs $36/kg in bulk deliveries. Demand for produce sourced directly from farms is growing, and Morris says multiculturalism is, in part, driving that trend
