About Us

Owned and operated by Matt and Sue Simmons, Melanda Park boasts happy, healthy free range pigs, born and raised in their paddocks.  A marriage of heritage and modern breeds has produced a sturdy forager,  free to range the organic crops and pastures of Swallow Rock Reach in Ebenezer New South Wales.

 

 The flavour of this environment comes shining through in the final product  -  sweet, succulent free range pork with the unique flavours of the surroundings in 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 .

NEIL PERRY - Rockpool

 

I can’t for the life of me think why anyone would ever choose to eat intensively farmed pork, or intensively farmed anything else for that matter. These pigs enjoy trees and long grass and are allowed to wallow in mud; they eat leafy vegetables and fruit and herbs along with their grain which is sourced from within 10 km. These pigs live a free and natural life. I love what Melanda Park is doing and I’m grateful for the day we found each other so my customers can now eat the best of the best pork.
