| Summary |
When former food critic, Matthew Evans, swapped his city life to have a go at small farm living in Tasmania, he really put to the test his primary belief that people should be directly connected with their food: either by growing it, rearing it, or sourcing it from local producers.Matthew has now moved to his new farm, Fat Pig Farm, and the series follows Matthew, Sadie and little Hedley as they take on the challenge of making their new property work.50 acres of pasture is a lot of grass to manage and the local NRM, who are the group who consult on how to improve and maintain a healthy farm, have told Matthew he desperately needs to get animals to graze his grass to regenerate it and add fertility to the soil. The quickest way to do that is with a large animal such as cattle.Matthew researches what the best cattle for Fat Pig Farm are, and how to produce the best quality meat. Value-adding his beef means cured products such as bresaola, or even condiments like stout mustard, may be sold at the Common Ground shop.
