Celebrating Tasmanian
Responsible Dairying Award
We are delighted to share a moment of pride and celebration!
Our farm has been honoured with the Tasmanian Responsible Dairying Award. This prestigious recognition is a testament to the dedication, innovation, and collective efforts of our team over many years.
Our commitment to sustainable and ethical practices has been the cornerstone of this achievement. Here are the key elements that contributed to our success:
Fully Organic Operations:
Our farm operates without herbicides, pesticides, GMOs, hormones, or synthetic fertilisers, ensuring pure, natural products.
Environmental Stewardship:
We have planted over 2 kilometres of shelter belts and 40,000 trees, fostering biodiversity and enhancing the health of our ecosystem.
Renewable Energy:
Our dairy and egg facilities are powered by solar energy, reducing our reliance on non-renewable resources.
Quieter, Cleaner Environment for our Cows:
By utilising electric bikes for farm operations, we minimise emissions and maintain a quieter, cleaner environment to promote a stress-free environment for our cows.
Nutritious Pastures:
Our cows graze on diverse, multi-species pastures rich in grasses, legumes, and herbs, promoting soil health, drought resilience, and natural pest control.
Animal Welfare:
Implementing a once-a-day milking schedule enhances cow well-being, reduces energy consumption, and allows our team to maintain a balanced lifestyle.
Grass-Fed Excellence:
Our dairy cows are 100% grass-fed, significantly reducing inputs and minimising our environmental footprint.
This award reflects years of unwavering commitment to responsible dairying, but our journey is far from complete. We remain dedicated to advancing sustainable practices, embracing innovation, and fostering a greener, kinder, regenerative future. At Shakespeare Hills, we believe farming extends beyond producing milk, beef and eggs. It is about nurturing the land, caring for our animals, supporting our community, and doing so with integrity and purpose.
We are excited to continue this journey, exploring new ways to innovate, enhance sustainability, and share our progress with you. Thank you for being an integral part of our story.
Be part of the change.
