25.01.2022 Super excited to be a part of the Dandaragan Organic Beef farm open day on the 14th of September This will be an amazing opportunity for people to meet the team behind this award winning organic beef farm and get a greater understanding of where your food comes from. Also, a chance to meet Daisy Limited tickets are still available. For more information go to: http://dandaraganorganicbeef.com.au/shop/

25.01.2022 Special delivery from Pauly! Thanks to our awesome neighbours, the Stoneys, for passing on these beauties to us! Was a little bit of a mission to safely get them off the truck but Paul nailed it. A little bit of TLC and these bad boys will be ready to keep our chook feed dry and away from the mice #donttrythisathome #strapsfordays #pasturedpoultry #lifeonthefarm #dandaragan #daisyvalleyfarm

24.01.2022 Yesterdays post wouldnt be complete without sharing the love for this beautiful woman, my mum. (aka the better half) The original mother hen here on the farm, the glue that holds us all together and my biggest fan in the garden. Here she is just yesterday, shovel in hand, helping me build my new cottage garden. What a woman! We are so lucky to have someone so generous and supportive in our lives. Thank you for being our biggest chicken promotor, for always offering to help out whenever and wherever, and for always being just as excited when I have a new flower blooming or veggie to pick. We love you, mum/Kaye #whatawoman #lifeonthefarm #knowyourfarmer #supportlocal #pastureraised #daisyvalleyfarm

22.01.2022 Happy 3 months Jacky Boy #alwayssmiling #bigboy #JP

22.01.2022 We’ve been understandably quiet over the last couple months here at Daisy Valley Farm as we’ve been busy learning how to look after a mini human. We just wanted to update you all on where we are at - We had 150 day old chicks arrive 20 days ago and in a few more days these guys will be ready to head out to the pasture. Stay tuned for their graduation day #babiesandbusiness #pastureraised #pasturedpoultry #regenerativefarming #daisyvalleyfarm

21.01.2022 Happy First Father’s Day to the boss man. Thank you for being the most wonderful, attentive, loving Papa to Jack. We are so grateful for all that you do for our family and we hope you have a good day #mightnapmightnot #babyjack #loveshispapa #daisyvalleyfarm

20.01.2022 The results are in and it’s happy days here at Daisy Valley Farm! 6 months on and the plantation is flourishing. The last pic shows where we are about to run our latest batch of chooks so they too can work their magic #grassbedsnotsheds #regenerativefarming #pastureraised #pasturedpoultry #happydays #daisyvalleyfarm

20.01.2022 These beauties are some of the Marigolds and Portulacas that are blooming in my garden atm. Whilst they both help to attract the honeybees, and are drought-resistant, the Marigolds (first pic) help repel those nasty garden pests in search of my delicious greens #catchyanematodes #savethebees #marigolds #portulacas #regenerativefarming #lifeonthefarm #veggies #daisyvalleyfarm

18.01.2022 One year as husband and wife and what a year it has been! Moving back to the farm and starting our first business has been such an exciting, rewarding and challenging adventure. Heres to many more years of being great together #happilyevermcarthur #mouthssosorefromsmiling #bestfriends #daisyvalleyfarm

18.01.2022 BOSS DOG TURNS 3 Happy 3rd Birthday to our favourite 10/10 good girl The fierce chicken protector, passionate ball chaser, stick maniac, creek loving, bath hating, most loyal companion here at Daisy Valley Farm #bossdog #birthday #wheresmytreat #goodgirl #lifeonthefarm #daisyvalleyfarm

17.01.2022 Chicken manure for the win After 3 months of having the chickens in the plantation we have already started to notice a massive difference. The top image and bottom left show where the chickens have already been and the bottom right image is where we are yet to run them. The dark green you see is the added nitrogen from the chicken manure, which helps to promote vigorous grass growth and the attractive green colour. The phosphorus in the manure is important for root growth and early plant vigour, and the potassium permits more efficient use of nitrogen. Hopefully another 12 months and this plantation will be thriving #grassbedsnotsheds #regenerativefarming #pasturedpoultry #chickenmanure #knowyourfood #supportlocal #pastureraised #dandaragan #daisyvalleyfarm

17.01.2022 PERI PERI CHICKEN Yes please This is such a simple recipe, and perfect for those who are stuck at home and in need of a sneaky peri peri treat #nandoswho #periperiyes #pastureraisedchicken #pasturedpoultry #knowyourfood #dandaragan #lifeonthefarm #daisyvalleyfarm *Tip* Keep some marinade aside to make the peri-naise dipping sauce - you wont be disappointed!... INGREDIENTS 1kg of chicken (drums, wings, breast, whole) 150 ml olive oil Lemon juice 1 and zest 1 tbsp vinegar 1 tbsp paprika 1 tbsp cayenne 1 tbsp salt & pepper 6 - 8 cloves of garlic 4 - 6 chillies PERI-NAISE SAUCE 1/4 cup mayo 1 tbsp peri METHOD Add all ingredients into a food processor or blender. Process to form a smooth sauce to your preferred consistency. You can strain out some of the excess liquid if youd like, or just use it as-is. Save 1-2 tablespoons for peri-naise sauce and extra for dipping if desired. Pour the rest over the chicken and leave to marinate for 1-2 hours. Drumsticks will take 20-25 minutes on the BBQ whilst the breast pieces will take about 5-7 minutes. Serve with coleslaw, corn on the cob and chips

15.01.2022 Found this on Pauls iPhone and honestly, I cant believe hes been holding out on me #justamanandhischook #howsmycomblook #chookselfie #pastureraisedchicken #lifeonthefarm #knowyourfarmer #grassbedsnotsheds #daisyvalleyfarm

15.01.2022 This is Sunny she’s one of our pet porkers here at Daisy Valley Farm. She loves a good scratch and is often found laying in her mud bath During one of our recent storms a tree branch fell on her pen enabling ‘The Great Escape!’ We’re not sure how long she was out for but she had eaten both of her feed buckets and was caught wandering around the house. Whilst she may be a big porker, she’s such a friendly one and we love having her around #thegreatescape #lovesascratch #lifeonthefarm #daisyvalleyfarm

15.01.2022 This amazing man is my Dad (aka Big Richie) and over the last 6 months he has been silently helping Paul and I in more ways than we can list in this post. Whether its feeding the chickens, picking up supplies, or building a pig pen, hes always happy to lend a helping hand. We are so grateful to have his expertise (even if theyre sometimes somewhat questionable) and were so lucky to have his love and support. Thanks for all that you do, Dad! #whataman #lifeonthefarm #knowyourfarmer #supportlocal #pastureraised #daisyvalleyfarm

14.01.2022 Did you know that honey bees communicate with one another by dancing 6 months ago we got our first hive and have been learning all that we can about natures tiny workers. With winter leaving us soon, we hope to get a few more hives (and hopefully a couple more jars of honey) https://youtu.be/M33bY6gSYmA

12.01.2022 Thai Red Chicken Curry I love making all types of curries but this one is Paul’s favourite.

11.01.2022 HOMEMADE CHICKEN BROTH Made our weekly batch of broth yesterday using some of our Daisy Valley produce. Such a simple process that not only tastes delicious but is packed full of goodness. I use this as a base for a lot of our meals, or just enjoy a cup (or two.)

11.01.2022 Two weeks of loving you #babyjack

10.01.2022 Final delivery day! Thank you to all of our customers for supporting Daisy Valley Farm. We have been blown away by all the positive feedback! The pasture-raised, free-ranging, regenerative farming method has proven to not only benefit the health and welfare of the birds, and the soil beneath them, its the reason why our chicken tastes the way it does! 100% antibiotic-free chicken can be done and our product is proof of that. We have sold out for now but we will have more stock available in 6 weeks. Please get in touch with us before the beginning of July to get your orders in #grassbedsnotsheds #pastureraisedchicken #deliveryday #pasturedpoultry #knowyourfood #supportlocal #dandaragan #daisyvalleyfarm

10.01.2022 DAY 22 - GRADUATION DAY - One of my favourite parts of this job is watching the chicks experience the pasture for the first time. It’s amazing how quickly their instincts kick in as they rush around pecking and scratching in search for the most delicious treats they can find #grassbedsnotsheds #pastureraised #pasturedpoultry #regenerativefarming #daisyvalleyfarm

09.01.2022 Just a reminder to our Perth team, we will be making a drop off to Perth next Friday the 4th. To put an order in, please send an email to: [email protected] or contact Soph on 0439927931.

08.01.2022 If you like a little bit of sweet and a little bit of heat - then this is the recipe for you! Harissa chicken tray bake is so easy to make and the harissa flavours, mixed with the vinegar, works a real treat on our pasture-raised chicken. Here Ive used a whole chicken butterflied, but this would easily work with thighs, drumsticks and wings #harissachickentraybake #sotasty #pastureraised #lifeonthefarm #knowyourfarmer #knowyourfood #daisyvalleyfarm HARISSA CHICKEN TRAY B...AKE Serves 4 Prep: 10 mins cooking time: 50 mins Ingredients 1 - 1.2kg whole pasture-raised chicken (cut in half) 2 red onions 4 mixed-colour peppers 4 heaped teaspoons harissa paste 4 sprigs of fresh mint or chopped parsley 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil Method Preheat the oven to 160C/350F. Deseed the peppers and tear into big chunks, peel and quarter the onions and break apart into petals, then place it all in a 30cm x 40cm roasting tray. Use a large sharp knife to carefully cut down the back of the chicken, so you can open it out flat, then score the legs. Add to the tray with the harissa, and a little sea salt, black pepper and red wine vinegar. Toss well. Sit the chicken flat on top of the veg, skin side up, and roast it all for 50 minutes. Serve with green salad, couscous or rice. ENJOY!

06.01.2022 Finally had the chance to get into our veggie patch! We probably should have done as the instructions said and planted the tomatoes and basil at the correct distances, but stoked with our delicious, juicy, jungle goodness none the less #alwaysreadthelabel #wherethebloodyhellareya #freshveggies #knowyourfood #lifeonthefarm #daisyvalleyfarm

06.01.2022 Our first batch of day old chicks for 2020 arrived yesterday!! Ive missed hearing the constant chirps all day long

05.01.2022 Look at that grass!! A few snaps from the sky to show you what a difference 4 months makes using the regenerative farming methods. That dark green strip you can see is the result of moving our chickens daily across the pasture. The chickens are happy, the grass is loving life and I have one very happy husband who gets to fly his new mini drone (toy) around the farm #newdronewhodis #djitello #needabiggerdrone #nitrogenfordays #regenerativefarming #dailymovestofreshpasture #pastureraisedchicken #pasturedpoultry #knowyourfarmer #supportlocal #daisyvalleyfarm

04.01.2022 DAY 48: You are what you eat Our birds have a diet of grass and insects, in addition to being fed seasonal grains and minerals. They are exposed to the sunshine and are able to forage, run, jump and peck. They are ANTIBIOTIC-FREE their entire life. This results in healthier animals ... and more nutritious food for people as well. Studies have shown that pasture-raised chicken meat tends to be:... higher in iron higher in Omega 3 fats have a lower Omega 6:3 ratio higher in antioxidants (Vitamin D & E, for example). It’s important to know where your food comes from and how it’s produced.

03.01.2022 Pigs are such fascinating animals and are very useful on the farm. They are highly social, very intelligent and are a great asset to a mixed-farming model. We have learnt so much already and with a little more time and research, we hope we can integrate these beautiful piggies into our pasture-raised system. Check out our little video of our time with them https://youtu.be/HwdRbyOAlmQ

02.01.2022 Operation clean up is well underway for our first batch of chooks! This new location is to provide more shade during the day to help keep the chooks cooler. These gumtrees were planted in 2003 and consist of 7 rows running 300 metres in length. As they havent been touched since they were planted, Paul has been busy cleaning up the tree branches and flattening the lanes using his old railway line invention, so we can run the chicken tractors down them with ease. Even Daisy has been helping add a few sticks to the burn pile #shadefordays #pastureraised #regenerativefarming #knowyourfood #knowyourfarmers #dandaragan #daisyvalleyfarm
