🌳 Sarah and Rob from @jacarandahillfarm talk about making the move from the city.
For them and their family, 🫶 it was the best thing they ever did, despite the ‘crazy’ comments. 💪
🏕️Now they’re a HipCamp hotspot and producing amazing eggs from their pasture raised layers. 🐓 🥚

Emily from @gallowaysprings talks us through their converted greenhouse chicken tractors. 🐓 🚜
Keep an eye out for the ‘Chicken Persuader’.
Galloway Springs have demonstrated that pasture raised meat chickens can be achievable in relatively high volumes yet still manageable by one person, integrated into a multi-species grazing rotation while simultaneously improving pasture. No system is perfect, so Emily and the other producers are constantly tweaking their systems to make it work in the best way possible for the chickens, the farmer and the consumer.

PROOF IS IN THE PASTURE! 🌱🐓
Ewen from Unison Farms tells us his pasture raised chicken origin story and how it took a strip of green chook-fertilised pasture to get the family on board. 💚

THE MICRO-ABATTOIR 🐓
@southamptonhomestead is the heartbeat of the pasture raised meat chicken industry in WA. They’re championing regenerative chicken farmers and employee local people in a very human centred enterprise. Although they’re a pivotal piece in the growing pasture raised supply chain, Jeff wants the abattoir to stay ‘micro’ but his dream is for other passionate farmers to pick up his model and run with it. 🏃♂️ 🐓
As of posting this video - The chain stores are now charging almost equal and in some cases more 😮 than the local pasture raised producers and suppliers LISTED BELOW 👇 !!!,
So as consumer demand grows 🛒 WA will need more of these micro abattoirs who support better farming and better supply chain systems.
We saw the huge shift from Battery to Free Range in this last decade (without the transparency of social media). 🐔
In a short time we will see the ethical, ecological and nutritional benefits of pasture raised chicken and eggs shift consumer purchases again. 💛
Let’s be ahead of the pack - #PastureRaisedinWA

Time for a toot my own horn post. 📣
🎥 Video work can feel transactional sometimes as the final product is often delivered via email with all thanks and praises in written form accentuated by emojis ☺️ which is appreciated but it’s a digital based service and most of the time the human element stops after shoot day. 🤝
👑 But every now and then my regular or one off clients remind me that the work we do together is impressive, is important and is appreciated.
“So there we go, fu€kin’ hell, brilliant job!”
Thanks Giles 💪
LET’S TALK PAID ADS 🤔
We started promoting ourselves for the first time ever last year. Spending almost all my editing time producing content for other enterprises, I never really thought about creating my own (let’s be honest, quietly avoiding the extra work). But I bit the bullet and compiled a few meta ads similar to this one. ☝️
Was it worth it? 🤨This statement may not go down well with the Meta/FB/IG overlords👹 but DON’T TRUST THIER ESTIMATED METRICS! 📈
✅The numbers are correct, we received the response/leads they estimated, and at face value the names and details were of the target group we requested…
❌BUT these accounts and emails were false replications of real WA locals (bots) genius really! Had to do some digging to confirm this but yeah… shocker.
💪However, the few REAL leads we did receive were genuine, interested, and amazing enterprises willing to up their video content to tell their story and engage with more people, and we were so grateful for these producers taking the chance on a sponsored ad. 🙏
👍In summary the journey into paid ads was worth it and we will continue this year. But just take everything the overlords promise you with a grain of salt.
👌I’d love to hear your experiences, DM if you’re happy to share!
😁 MEAT BOX PICK-UP DAY 🥩
A day rivaled by very few others.

Farming OFFGRID ⚡️ is a respectable thing, the trials and tribulations of regular farming is enough to stress out most people 😫…. now take that farm OFFGRID!
@australianblacklimes trail blazing in a practically unexplored industry in Australia and doing it as best for the land 🌏 that they can.

An unexpected use …. an armrest wherever I shoot
Thank you @thebirthproject.australia ❤️ and thank you @boundarysupply 💪
Listen to clichés because they’ve hung around long enough to become a cliché there is truth in them, sometimes pure truth.
‘Get to know your farmer.’ is a cliche for a reason, it’s a gateway drug to improving yourself and fixing issues on a global scale.
If you know your farmer, they know you, they tell you everything about the way they farm, they try to inform you and keep you coming back because that’s how trust and transparency works, it’s mutually beneficial.
If you trust your farmer, they improve the land they occupy and improve the community that surrounds them, when the community improves - the world improves because other communities pick up on trends and what is working, in turn they will get to know their farmer.
Get to know your farmers folks. 🎥🌱👨🌾
ONE MAN’S BORING🥱IS ANOTHER MAN’S BIZARRE🤔…
In interviews I like to ask my clients about the mundane for two reasons, it gets them relaxed and talking about processes they do every day on auto pilot, it’s easy to talk about, but secondly I want them to dive into the nuts and bolts of their enterprises because this shows transparency.
It’s not what you see on the usual billboards, slogans and packaging. The nuts and bolts are always hidden in big business and this is where the little guy has the advantage.
Consumers and their community crave transparency and transparency comes with opening up about the mundane. 💪🎥🌱
