Today's guest is the wonderful Jacki Hinchley from Blue Dog Farm located in Mount Mee.  Jacki is a wonderful ambassador for not only her farm and farming practices, but also for FAN (Food and Agribusiness Network - see episode 18 with Emma Greenhatch for more on this).  We discuss the importance of real food, ethical farming practices, and how we as consumers can support these enterprises. Blue Dog Farm harnesses the best of mother nature and brings deliciousness to the tables of homes and restaurants across Queensland.

You’ll find Blue Dog Farm in Mount Mee, in the rich and green heartland that is Brisbane’s backyard. It’s where Jacki and her dedicated team of passionate farmers nurture the land and harvest their Really Fancy Salad and Really Good Beef.

It’s farming… but not as you know it.

Blue Dog Farm are passionate about biodynamics, nutrition farming, and regenerative farming. They do things differently and couldn’t be prouder of the positive impact they're having on people’s passion for good food, and on the planet.

Blue Dog Farm is a small market garden growing fresh produce naturally. Grown from locally sourced seed that is organic, open-pollinated, and often heirloom, they don’t use artificial pesticides, herbicides, or fertilisers, just lots of compost!

The garden is tended entirely by hand – the bed preparation, the sowing, the weeding, the harvesting, and the compost making! Throughout the year, they take one bed at a time out of the cycle to rest and restore the balance of the soil.

They are equally as attentive with their beef cattle selection and breeding. They not only focus on deliciousness, but also the precise management of the land. As the current custodians, they consider it their responsibility to maximise the good effect for future generations.
