Poultry and Livestock Farming
At Cargo Food Farm, we take a holistic approach to livestock farming, which includes poultry, pigs, goats, sheep, and cattle. Our commitment to ethical and sustainable farming practices ensures that all our animals are raised in humane conditions with access to pasture, clean water, and organic feed. Our livestock farming operation provides a variety of products such as meat, eggs, dairy, and processed items like sausages and smoked meats. Our practices prioritize animal welfare, biosecurity, and environmental sustainability to produce healthier and more nutritious food products.
Pigs
Our pig farming operation focuses on raising heritage breeds that are known for their high-quality meat and resilience to diseases. The pigs are raised in free-range environments with access to pasture and fed a balanced, organic diet, supplemented by food waste from our vegetable and fruit farming, reducing overall waste on the farm.
Chicken
Raised for both meat and eggs, our chickens are selectively bred for hardiness and meat quality. We offer free-range chicken meat, which is leaner, tastier, and more nutritious than conventionally raised chickens. Additionally, our organic eggs are sold both locally and regionally.
Goat are an integral part of our livestock farming operation. Known for their ability to thrive on minimal feed and in diverse climates, goats are a sustainable choice for both meat and dairy production. Our goats are raised in open pastures, where they graze on a variety of grasses and shrubs, contributing to the farm’s ecosystem by controlling invasive plants and fertilizing the land.
Our cattle farming operation focuses on both dairy and beef production. The cattle are raised in spacious, pasture-based systems, where they graze on organic feed and have access to clean water and open space. We use rotational grazing to ensure that pastures are not overused and that the land remains fertile.
Sheep are raised primarily for meat (lamb and mutton) and wool production. Our sheep are kept on rotational pastures, which helps maintain soil health and prevents overgrazing. Sheep also contribute to the overall health of the farm’s ecosystem, as their grazing habits promote biodiversity by keeping weeds and invasive plants under control.
Our farm raises free-range turkeys that are known for their high-quality meat, ideal for special occasions and everyday meals. We prioritize turkeys with better flavor and texture through ethical breeding practices.
We also raise ducks, which are fed organic feed, contributing to richer meat and eggs. Duck meat is a niche product that caters to specific culinary tastes, and we also produce premium-grade duck eggs.
