The Producers
Meet Cressida & Michael
Pecora Dairy, founded in 2011 by Michael and Cressida Cains, is a 200-acre sheep-milk farm and cheesery in Robertson, just under 100 kms from Sydney. Their East Friesian ewes graze lush pasture and drink from clear creeks, producing rich, creamy milk for our seasonal cheeses.
Guided by a “gentle on the land, gentle with the flock” philosophy, they’ve crafted every aspect of their farm and cheesemaking process to reflect the unique ecosystem of their Southern Highlands home.
Meet Kel & Mahla
‘The Pines’ is a Regenerative Farm in Kiama, on the South Coast of NSW. 6th generation dairy farmers who embraced a need to transition from conventional farming to a range of Biodynamic, Organic and Holistic Management strategies.
We put the wellbeing of our animals and the land at the forefront of everything we do – our regenerative farming practices ensure that all parts of the ecosystem on farm are thriving.
Mitch Lowrie
Learning from the land and its custodians drives Mitch who is extremely proud to be able to share his knowledge through Dharawal Distilling Co.
Distilling is a science, similar to foraging for native botanicals on country. Combing the two has given Mitch the opportunity to create a range of products that allow First Nations culture a chance to shine in the beverage industry.
Luke and Oskar
