Regenerative Agriculture
at The Pines
‘The Pines’ is a Regenerative Farm in Kiama, on the South Coast of NSW. As 6th generation dairy farmers we embraced a need to transition from conventional farming and have adopted a range of Biodynamic, Organic and Holistic Management strategies.
Although we are small, we place a huge emphasis on regeneration and bringing our soil systems back into balance. 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.
Everything we make, including our delicious cheeses, artisan gelato and natural yoghurt is a pasture to plate experience that will tickle your tastebuds.
On Farm Education
We have started offering on farm experiences including school groups, families and local interest groups. We look forward to offering a new range on on farm experiences including Yoga, Farming workshop, open days and hand on community days. If you would like to arrange a visit to our farm please get in touch.
Our Dairy
Dairying is in our blood and we know that milk is best the minute it comes out of the cow. All we do is handle the milk as gently as possible and try to preserve it in different ways.
We believe in minimal processing, leaving the taste and structural integrity of the milk to be the main star. Every step in done on farm with milk just minutes old – we pump directly across into our small factory straight after morning milking to start the days artisan production.
Our Products
CHEESE
Our dream has always been to make traditional farmhouse cheese that reflects our soil health and pasture biodiversity of our farm. For the past 5 years we have been learning, refining our methods and building the infrastructure to manufacture and mature cheese. We are currently producing small quantities of hard cheese including our ‘Three Daughters Cheddar’.
YOGHURT
Our Natural, Pot Set Yoghurt is a delicious traditional yoghurt made by simply adding natural cultures to our fresh milk. We pot set it in glass jars which allows the cream layer to settle on top resulting in a decadent, silky and additive free yoghurt.
GELATO
Our gelato is produced fresh on farm each week using our milk as the main ingredient (70% fresh milk!!). This gives the gelato a lovely fresh creamy texture and smooth finish. We source the finest ingredients to create a range of tasteful classic and delicious contemporary flavours.
NON HOMOGENISED MILK
Our non-homogenised Milk is now available via our dispenser in store and at markets. BYO bottle or purchase one of ours to reuse. See our FAQs Blog for more details.
