Certified free-range pork

Premium pork products—gently raised in Albany WA

Where a pig can be a pig

Less than 5% of Australian sows are free range. With strong animal welfare and environmental practices, we’re proud of our certified free-range status.

Room to move

With constant access to the outdoors, our girls are free to get their pig on. 

They spend their days  foraging, sunbathing, and socialising on our Cranbrook farm.

Stress-free sows

Our mama pigs are never confined—instead, they follow their natural instincts.

After choosing her farrow shelter, mums introduce their litters to the herd only 10 days after birth.

Australian Pork (APIQ) maintains high standards of animal welfare and sustainability practices.

Traditional, cruelty-free stockmanship for calm, contented pigs and consistently delicious premium pork products.

Our ethos

Colin’s always been a pig man—in fact, his parents had a pig farm in Shropshire UK. A lifetime of experience in free-range farming means we produce moist, sweet pork that’s consistently delicious.

Truly free range

Our sows come and go as they please and have constant access to everything they need to be healthy and productive. Things like:

  • Fresh air

  • Premium grain-based food

  • Clean water

  • Open farrowing shelters

  • A fresh, tidy environment

  • Shade and protection

Environmentally ethical

We designed our Cranbrook farm to protect the environment—and to ensure we’re productive long into the future. Regular soil testing and nutrient management keeps the soil healthy and protects neighbouring land and water from nutrient transfer..

Healthy, serene sows

We trust our sows to know what’s best for them—and their babies. Since we don’t castrate, dock tails, or clip teeth, our sows trust us, too. The freedom to move and the clean, stress-free environment keeps our sows happier than pigs in…well, you know 😉

No hogwash

  • Annual audits: meeting APIQ’s rigorous standards to produce the best possible pork products

  • True stockmanship: individual care gives each animal the best possible chance to meet its potential

  • Premium pork products: considered care for consistently rich, clean, succulent meat that’s easier to cook

Off the farm

We’re proud of our joint venture with Ryan’s Quality Meats—one of the leading suppliers of quality Australian meat to the food services industry and retailers. 

Their award-winning commitment to traditional butchery, food safety, and innovation does our animals justice. And their commitment to sourcing livestock from ethical farmers aligns with our values—and helps us produce the highest quality premium pork products.
