OUR FARM:
Warwick Tombleson owns and runs the farm with the help of Henry Gaddum (Shepherd) and wife Jane Tombleson - who also operates a farm stay and walks on the beautiful land www.haurata.co.nz.
Warwick and Jane converted their conventional farm to biological seven years ago for three main reasons:
• Environmental sustainability.
• Healthier animals via more nutritious soil.
• Healthier meat for our family and yours.
I am their daughter Rose - having recently returned from overseas I am re-studying to become a certified health coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
My number one aim in helping my family with this business is providing eco-conscious consumers a quality, free-range, biological and ethical meat product. Most of NZ's quality produce is exported but with Haurata Eco-Lamb you are getting the best quality and know exactly where your meat is coming from, how it is farmed and treated.
There is growing research that animal fat stores toxins, hormones and antibiotics – at much higher rates than plant produce and these have been linked to many adverse health effects. Meat is a good way to obtain our Iron, Zinc, B12, CoQ10 etc. But if animals are exposed to and ingest toxins we then accumulate these toxins in our bodies.
“Vitamin and mineral content of food varies enormously with farming methods…In time, commercially fertilized soils become depleted and the foods grown on them suffer accordingly…healthy soil is the basis of health for all life forms†Fallon et al, 2001.
Haurata Eco-Lamb is for those looking for a healthy, traceable and transparent source of New Zealand farmed meat.
What does it mean to buy biologically produced lamb?
All of our produce is born and raised using a sustainable farming system (www.ecofarm.co.nz). By using minerals, trace elements, fish oil, seaweed and fungi instead of synthetic fertilizer to feed and improve the soil - we improve the sustainability of the land as well as producing a food source which is free from many chemicals common in pasture farming here in New Zealand.
While we are not completely organic (as animals struggle when they get parasites), we limit drenching to necessity and use a product that does not stay in the system long term. We do not use hormones to stop abortion in our Ewes.
