Established by the Warner family in 2015, their aim was To produce truly free range eggs on a sustainable model and supply them direct to the customer. Before they knew it, the Warner’s had 8000 chickens! The chickens also refered to as ‘the girls’ spend their days grazing on the fertile volcanic soils and have access to both the paddocks and safety of their mobile home 24/7. 

Caravan Eggs are just one of the many small businesses that Castle Estate support through our Providore Shop. To find out more check out our website at https://castleestate.com.au/product/12-free-range-eggs/

We often preach about our ethical farming practises because we know that animals are one of the biggest greenhouse gas producers. We always try to do everything we can to reduce our carbon footprint and one of the main ways we do this is by leaving less behind when consuming the animal.

The traditional values of reducing waste have never been more relevant than now. When the Castle Estate (butcher and abattoir) prepares an animal as a source of food, they operate under the firm belief system that the whole animal must be utilised to minimise waste and avert frivolous farming. To see how you can eat more than just the core parts of the animal head to our recipe page for meal ideas and product suggestions.

Continuing on with out winter themed products, this week’s product of the week is our lamb shoulder. The shoulder works hard, so it is full of flavour but can be tough if undercooked or cooked too quickly. Cut from the shoulder boneless and trimmed in preparation for cooking, then tied and ready for roasting, this tender cut is ideal for slow cooking.  If you’d like to find out more about our lamb products or you wish to place your order today, visit our website at https://castleestate.com.au/product/boneless-shoulder/

The Effects of Winter on the farm/animals:

As temperatures begin to drop around the state, we see both our crops and livestock go through varying changes in order to adapt to the colder months. Here is a list of some of the best fruit and vegetables that thrive on winter elements: 

• Bananas
• Lemons
• Mandarines
• Broccoli
• Carrots

In addition to this, it is important to remember that during the winter  the principle is that foods that take longer to grow are generally more warming than those that grow quickly. This means meats such as chicken, beef and lamb. Our livestock is cared for in different ways each season to ensure our motto of The Better they Live, The Better they Taste.

This week, we are showing off our Beef Brisket.

Being a well exercised muscle, the brisket has a high degree of connective tissue and is best suited to slow wet cooking methods such as braising and casseroling. This beef cut is perfect for shredding as it literally pulls apart when cooked. We also recommend trying it in the smoker.

“When tillage begins, other arts follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of human civilisation”

From the wise words of Daniel Webster and we couldn’t agree more.
