We recently visited family in far north Queensland and while there took a trip to visit the Mungalli Creek Dairy farm at Millaa Millaa. When we aren’t getting milk from our own cows at home, we always try and buy unhomogenised full cream milk. We made the switch from low-fat/homogenised milk products a couple of years once we understood the myth of “low-fat” everything, and how homogenisation was just another level of processing our food could do without. (Cyndi O’Mearas book Changing Habits is a very good read on this topic).
Not only did we enjoy visiting the farm and sampling some delicious cheeses and yoghurts in their cafe, we also were most interested to see their new venture into biodynamic free-range egg farming. I took a couple of pics of their mobile chicken coops which were of particular interest to us as we have just recently finished creating our own mobile chicken coop/caravan for our own developing Light Sussex flock.
Also found this article here in the Townsville Bulletin when I was looking up a bit more info on the dairy and their operations. Happy chickens 🙂
