About Us

Owned and operated by Lee and Kevin McCosker, Melanda Park boasts happy, healthy free range pigs, raised on  pasture.  A marriage of heritage and modern breeds has produced a sturdy forager,  free to range 175 acres of, rich, fertile basalt country at Rob Roy, just west on Inverell in NSW.  Pig farming at its best! The pig's pastures consist of native grasses, and cereal crops.

 

 The flavour of this environment comes shining through in the final product  -  sweet, succulent free range pork with the unique flavours of the region it which it is raised. 

 

The end result is wholesome, tender, natural pork the way it should taste.  Sweet earthy flavours, with wonderful texture and colour.

Our Philosophy

People's expectations of quality are changing.  Consumers not only want food to taste good, they want it to actually be good.  Good for their health, good for animal welfare and good for the environment.  They need to know that their food is produced without the use of drugs, that the animals farmed for meat were given humane care and that their needs were respected and met. 

 

They feel that the pigs grown to provide us with pork should not  just have to cope with their environment, they should thrive in it. Farming practices need to be sustainable, not just now, but looking into the future and sustainability is more than environmental issues, its also about acceptable farm practices. 

 

How can Melanda Park Free Range meet such high expectations?

 

Our entire farm is managed biologically.  We are committed to happy, stress and disease free pigs and the care of our land and to show our commitment we have become certified through Humane Choice and undergo thorough inspection by Australia's most respected independent auditing company Aus-Qual.  The Humane Choice standard not only covers the environment and animal welfare, it covers your welfare also with stringent food safety requirements.

Why is Certification so important? 

At present, there is no national standard for the production of free range meat or eggs.  It is very unfortunate that big business has seized this opportunity to take advantage of a growing demand and the consumer's lack of knowledge about pork production methods.  If the pork you buy is not certified free range or Humane Choice, you have to ask the question, why?  

 

Remember, 'bred' free range does not mean free to range.  Insist on knowing more about the supplier of your pork and ask your butcher for assurance that it is genuine free range.  Become better informed, learn just what it is you seek when you are purchasing pork.
