Meanwhile, in good news...
It’s raining, it’s pouring... but with all the wind we don't think anyone's been doing much snoring. Frankly it's all starting to feel like a lot. ✨ Massive kudos ✨ to the people all over the place who have been tasked with checking on farm animals, restoring the power, clearing
The end of the summer holiday.
Hello again! Well, two things happened. 1. We put our out of office on, closed the laptop and relaxed. The days ticked on, the Ham Day leftover pile got smaller, and we cleared enough head space to do some high quality thinking around the state of the food system and
Beached as.
Hello! It's our final dispatch for 2022 which means you get one final reminder: if you're planning on having a ham on your table this Christmas, the time to buy it was yesterday is NOW. All our Freedom Farms hams are well and truly out of the distribution centres and
Our 2022 Annual Reading List
On a planet that is increasingly dictated by 140 character attention spans, sitting down with a book and wading into the complexities of the world is something we try hard to make time for. The following five books are ones that held our attention in 2022: challenged us, changed us,
How you doin'?
Hello! How are you? You ok? A bit tired? Shuffling towards the end of 2022? Gotta admit... us too. I keep seeing a post going around socials, reminding us that we went into the year depleted (because 2021! oh and 2020...) and to be kind to ourselves and each other
Your Official Festive Ham Email
Hello there! We're a bit nervous about sending this dispatch this week... if your inbox is anything like ours, you're being bombarded with Black Friday, Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday sales spam that is giving you the big ick. We want to make sure you have this info before you need it.
Gingerly sweet: Our 2022 ham glaze
Sometimes it's like we have a list of flavours all over the wall, throw a few darts and see what it hits. The flavours in this glaze might not be what you expect, and the glaze itself hits quite sweet, but once on the ham and baked, it just sort
Beetroot & Sourdough Panzanella
If you want something a bit different on your Christmas table, may we suggest this hearty and colourful panzanella salad. A few special ingredients worthy of a Christmas spread, this salad would be perfect on a table with a traditional roast, but fits in just as nicely on our more
Apple & Walnut Salad
We created this salad to complement the apple flavours in our 2022 Christmas Ham. With apple slices and the delicious Chantal Organics Apple Syrup (a new-to-us find that we're suddenly adding to everything) in the dressing, you can't go wrong with this crunchy, fresh and delightful salad. Ingredients * 300g spinach
Wedgie 'lad
(That's a wedge salad, in case you were wondering). We reckon wedge salads are brilliant. Firstly, they make a star of the iceberg lettuce - the somewhat underrated black sheep of the lettuce fam. And secondly, they are so simple to make. Whether you go with a classic dressing and
Loaded Christmas* Potatoes
*If you're reading this at any other time of year, please refer to this recipe as 'Loaded Potatoes'. While absolutely mouth-wateringly yum, there's really nothing especially festive about these, aside from the treat yo'self vibes they give off. We like them on our table as an alternative to boring boiled
Fancy seeing you here...
Hello! Firstly, a PSA: asparagus season is well and truly here (we may or may not have a countdown each year for this truly magnificent event). What goes great with asparagus? Bacon and eggs. Who sells really really delicious bacon and eggs? We do! Ok, glad that's out of the
