Heritage foods.

Most people know that we are an environmentally focused farmer cooperative. We oppose factory farming and operate without pesticides infecting our operations.

We are good at farming naturally and in harmony with nature. Sure, we take some losses but we accept this as our nature tax and recognise it as part of the cycle of nature.

But lesser known facts about us include our deep support for heritage foods. Admittedly it’s advantageous to us to go with heritage as they are the farm produce that’s often best able to handle the wims of Nature. Our work to bring the Bangkal Hitam pork back from the brink of extinction has been a rewarding journey. But With a growth rate half that of the pink landrace pig it’s reaching the market with twice the tag. But it does have its niche, being perfect for free range and organic farming. There are of course texture and flavour benefits to the Bangkal Hitam and lots of people have realised that the higher production pigs come with a poor free range capacity and lower quality.

We occasionally farm the landrace pig and can offer it at much cheaper prices but we generally do specialise in the Bangkal Hitam heritage pigs.

There is also the heritage Purusha peppercorns. The world’s smallest peppercorns and perfectly tiny smooth spherical balls. Unknown outside bali they carry the same peppery kick as the usual peppercorns but bring a stronger herbal twist. It would be great to see this tiny peppercorn find its way out into the wider world. Undiscovered potential in breads, pastas and as a stand alone unique herb.
