🥧 JAKE & DAN LOVE A GOOD PIE! 🥧

In fact, Jake and Dan have pretty much eaten their way around Australia, one bakery at a time………

So when the opportunity came up to team up with The Pie Guy, we were all over it.

Introducing the Cattleman’s Chunky Steak Pie 🥩🥧

Chock-full of chunky steak and mince, this is by far the densest chunky steak pie you will ever eat.

Made with our very own pasture-raised Maleny beef, roasted beef broth and golden pastry, it’s an outstanding pie that has become very much part of Obi.

Currently available exclusively at the farm shop.

fellow locals jake and dan at obi pasture co. had an idea.

they raise local quality, pasture-fed beef, just down the road. they believe local families should know where their food comes from, who raises it and how it’s produced. and they wanted another way for their customers to try it.

so they came to the pie guy.

their meat + their bones.
my homemade pastry + my signature roasted bone broth gravy.
family pies made with their very own beef.

the cattleman’s chunky steak pie.
raised by them. made by us. enjoyed by you and yours.

available frozen, ready-to-bake from the obi pasture co. farm shop in witta. or check out their website…

How good is the rain!

But weren’t we told to prepare for drought?

This isn’t the first time seasonal forecasts have been a long way from what actually happens in the paddock. Long-term forecasting isn’t an exact science, and the complexity of global weather patterns is still far from fully understood.

But there’s a bigger issue here than simply getting the weather wrong.

Farmers make decisions months, sometimes years, in advance. Buying or selling cattle, reducing stocking rates, purchasing feed, planting crops and investing in infrastructure. These aren’t small decisions. They affect livelihoods, regional economies and ultimately Australia’s food security.

When we’re told to prepare for drought, we take it seriously. We have to. But preparing for a drought that doesn’t arrive can be just as costly in missed production and lost opportunity.

That’s the challenge. The people making the forecasts aren’t the ones carrying the financial risk of acting on them.

Nobody expects the Bureau to predict the weather perfectly. But we should expect a clear understanding of just how uncertain those predictions are, particularly when so much agricultural planning is influenced by them.

Science is important, So is questioning it.

For anyone who knows Jake, you’ll know he’s never shy when it comes to telling a story!

He’ll be speaking at the Maleny Commerce Agribusiness Breakfast on Tuesday 10 November, sharing a little about his 20+ years in agriculture, the move from corporate agribusiness to building Obi Pasture Co with Dan, and what we’ve learnt along the way.

He’ll also touch on generational change in farming and why we’re passionate about connecting local farmers directly with the people buying their food.

It should be a fantastic morning, with some great local speakers and plenty of familiar faces.

We hope to see a few of you there!

Look out, Tassie — Dan’s on tour.

He’s at the coalface, conducting some very serious field research for Obi beef. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it.

We love our Obi steaks, so dining out comes with a pretty high bar these days.

What’s your go-to steak cut — rib fillet, porterhouse, rump, eye fillet or something else?

Farm kids 😂
A quick walk past the paddock somehow turns into a 20-minute catch-up over the fence.
Anyone else got a kid who’d choose animals over a screen every time? 🐮

School holidays at Obi are nearly over!

The boys have their legs out, Migaloo 🐳 — Jake’s beach nickname — has made an appearance, and Dan has conveniently escaped to Hawaii 🏝️ (actually Stanley, Tasmania… although, by all reports, the weather has been exceptional).

All jokes aside, it’s business as usual. Jake and Dan are covering for each other while their on break. 🥩🌱
