About Our Farm
Long Name Farm, Little Swanport, Tasmania
This is our philosophy
We take our time here at Long Name Farm.
We focus on raising happy pigs in a relaxed coastal environment where you can smell the sea.
While most commercial farms focus on selective breeding of fast growing pigs to maximise profit over flavour and animal welfare, we slow the pace. Our breed selection is best suited to free range farming where fat marbling and flavour develops in its own time.
We aim to produce pork with full flavour and a uniform meat to fat ratio.
Taste the difference of our full flavoured pork of yesteryear.
About the farm
Owner Phil, farms rare and heritage breed pigs on Tasmania’s scenic East Coast.
Wessex Saddleback, Tamworth and Berkshire pigs freely roam 44 coastal acres in the picturesque hamlet of Little Swanport.
Our pigs are free to roam, play and grow at their own pace in several large wattle paddocks. Their foraged feed is supplemented with a nutritional mix of barley, wheat, lupins, protein meal, vitamins, minerals and local Tasman Sea Salt licks.
Our mission is to raise happy pigs and supply ethically-produced, flavoursome free-range pork at affordable rates direct to the public, restaurants and local butchers.
about our long name
Long Name Farm recognises the indigenous name for the Little Swanport area, as recorded by George A Robinson in 1831.
"TEE BE LEB BER RER MEN NAPE BONE YER MEN NAN YER"
At 37 letters, it’s the longest recorded place name in Australia and means ‘place where a moving stream flows into a large estuary surrounded by hills.’ It’s a fitting description of Little Swanport’s coastal grazing land.
