About us
Mayfield Farm is situated on the edge of the Dorrigo Plateau, at an elevation of 1150 metres, with mild to warm summers and cold, dry, frosty winters. Our livestock enterprises consist of free range pigs, Angus cattle and working horses. All of our animals access pasture all day, every day and foam freely within their paddock boundaries. Our free range pigs, cattle and working horses are able to enjoy an outdoor life and practise their natural behaviours.
Our animals are grown without the use of hormone growth supplements and antibiotics, unless prescribed on veterinary advice. We have been certified by Humane Choice for quality assurance which confirms our commitment to the welfare of our animals and our environment. These standards are available at www.humanechoice.com.au. As part of this process, our abattoir is assessed for compliance with the Humane Choice standard for slaughter to ensure that our animals humanely pass from our farm to your plate with little stress.
Currently, we use tractors for planting and harvesting our crops but our goal is to have a team of working horses who will undertake as much of the work as possible to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and lessen the impact of machanisation on our land.
Our goal is to operate our free range farm and its integrated enterprises in an environmentally sustainable manner, using natural fertilisers, minerals and manures to increase the fertility and health of our soils, pastures, crops and livestock.
