About
Tarago Valley Organics

We are a family of farmers going back 4 generations. After so many years in the profession we are very proud of the farming model we have taken time to perfect.

100% pasture based all year round.
Milk from pasture fed cows (compared with grain-fed) is higher in Beta carotene, vitamin E, Conjugated Linoleic Acid and Omega 3.

Small herd.

There are many benefits to running a smaller herd. One of the biggest being that the cows get more space and time in the pasture. The happiness of the herd being of the upmost importance. Happy and well tended to cows leads to higher quality produce.

No Antibiotics.
This is our way of not contributing to the development of antibiotic resistance and super bugs. Prevention is key; with an organic pasture fed diet and running a small herd, we have found there is no need for antibiotics. If an issue does arise there are many natural remedies that work.

Bobby calves.
We believe every creature deserves a life and consolidating the concept of war on waste, all our male calves (Bobby calves) are raised with our heifer calves and then grown out to maturity.

Support young farmers.
Farmers are an ageing demographic. With the average age being 52 years old, it’s clear that many young people don’t see a viable future in agriculture.

As young farmers we feel empowered to take control of our business and in being part of creating a sustainable future.

Affordability.
Disheartened with stigma around organics being too expensive, we wanted our products to be as accessible as possible to families, and lower income homes. Which has stemmed our commitment to keeping our prices affordable.

Local Focus.
The idea of transporting food from the other side of the world or even the other side of this country seems crazy to us when we have such beautiful soils and farms in our local regions. With that in mind, a part of our model is to only supply shops within a 150km radius around our farms.
