🌿🐷 **WHY SALTBUSH? THERE’S MORE TO THE NAME THAN YOU MIGHT THINK!** 🐷🌿
At **Saltbush Farmyard**, saltbush isn’t just part of our name — it’s part of the paddock our pigs get to explore and graze. 💚
Allowing pigs to forage on **saltbush** can offer some pretty interesting benefits.
🌿 Saltbush naturally contains valuable **trace minerals and antioxidants**
🐷 Grazing and foraging provides **natural enrichment**, allowing pigs to explore and display their natural behaviours
🥩 Research has found saltbush grazing can contribute to **higher antioxidant and vitamin E levels in pork**
✨ Increased vitamin E can also help with **meat colour stability and quality**
🍴 And saltbush grazing may contribute to a **distinctive natural flavour profile**
For us, though, it’s about more than the finished product.
We love seeing our pigs outside — **grazing, rooting, exploring and enjoying the paddock as pigs should.**
It’s a slower, more natural approach to raising pork, with a focus on the animals, the land and producing quality food for local families.
🌿 **Saltbush Farmyard**
🐷 Pasture-raised. Locally produced. Raised with care.
**From our paddock to your family’s table.** 💚
