FIREBREAK FARM
Ethical and Regenerative Farming
Hi! We are Ace, Kylea and Maggie Hodgkinson-Jones!
Along with our parents, Frank and Jane, we are a family owned and operated farm, situated in the Neumgna district in the foothills of the Bunya Mountains and the district of Stony Creek in South East Queensland.
We raise quality pasture-raised and finished beef, using regenerative agricultural practices.
We recognise that our production systems must be harmonious and interconnected with the native ecosystems of the surrounding Tarong National Park.
Our stock are continuously moved onto fresh pasture, in a way which supports our natural ecosystems. Our cattle are rotationally grazed through diverse pastures, grown on rich volcanic soils. Animal welfare and their quality of life, is at the forefront of everything we do. We are dedicated to ensuring our animals have the best quality of life and truly believe our rotational grazing and open pasture system allows for a content and stress free animal.
Our natural farming techniques and high levels of welfare standards also results in an outstanding flavour, tenderness and quality of meat.
We Are Proud To Be Part Of The Slow Food Movement...
We recognise and acknowledge the Wakka Wakka people as the traditional owners of the land on which we farm and which they have cared for many thousands of years. As the current custodians, we are passionate about honouring and respecting this land and ensuring we sustain it for future generations.
We believe in community connectedness and the value of relationships in strengthening our sense of well-being and our quality of life. We feel privileged to be able to produce nutritious and flavourful food, to contribute to the health and dignity of our community members.
Our farming model is built around the contribution that livestock make to land management. The stock are continuously moved onto fresh pasture, in a way which supports our natural ecosystems. This removes the need for fertilisers, pesticides and animal growth hormones.
It is important that our animals live as close to their ancestral lives as possible and are not pushed to meet artificial finishing weights. This means our animals live a natural, slow-grow life – the way it should be. Production on a seasonal basis may be frustrating at times for you as our customers, but we ask you to please be patient and appreciate slow food production. The natural growth rate results in the outstanding flavour and quality of the meat.
