Fat Pig Farm in the Huon Valley

We often have people staying and going to Fat Pig Farm. Fat Pig Farm is home to Matthew, Sadie and Hedley. Together they run at 70+acre family farm in the beautiful Huon Valley, south of Hobart, where they live and nurture food from the soil to turn into great meals for the farmhouse table. Since 2011 we have been busy turning the one-time apple orchard into a mixed farm. Along with our namesake Wessex Saddleback pigs, the farm is home to chooks, a beef herd and a market garden. They also also milk a pair of full cream cows, harvest apples from our heritage orchard and have planted an olive grove that will supply all of our olive needs (in about a decade’s time!). Matthew used to be seen on SBS TV showing off all his cooking, and can also be found at the Salamanca Markets. This is us at Fat Pig Farm, just having consumed the Rhubarb cordial with a splash of local gin. Fat Pig Farm is at Glaziers Bay between Huonville and Cygnet.

Why Is the Huon River such a great spot to fish

That's easy, the Huon River. This is a spring afternoon on the banks of the Huon River. This shot shows why its such a great river to fish in the summer This afternoon the white bait, a small bait fish were running up and down the river banks. This could mean its likely to be a great trout season with this sort of early movements of bait fish.
