Tom Bradman and partner Verity Slee run Nomad Farms, their 400-acre, family-owned farm on the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia. The name Nomad Farms was chosen to embody the constant movement of their animals across their pastures, imitating the natural behaviour of wild herd animals.
They apply regenerative farming principles, and the natural nomadic movement of animals across the land is at the heart of their farming philosophy. Tom and Verity believe animals maintain their natural health in a healthy environment. If the flavour of their multi-award-winning produce is anything to go by, this seems to be paying off. Tom and Verity are dedicated to antibiotic-free, low-stress, free-range animal husbandry practices.
Their pastured chickens are free to forage, dust bathe and scratch in fresh air and sunlight, protected by their Maremma dog. Nomad Farms produce 100% grass-fed nomadic Angus and Murray Grey beef and hogget, and pasture-raised meat chickens.
Available at a range of retailers and restaurants across South Australia, the Willunga Farmers’ Markets on Saturdays and Adelaide Showground Markets on Sundays.
