Free Range

Lagoon Living has made us more conscious of the origin of our food and drink and living closer to nature, this has become a priority. I have been baking our own bread for years, but only recently found a source of flour without the added iron and additives we are trying to avoid. Bolkor Flour is made by the Van der Merwe family in the Porterville district and they are sticklers for quality. (contact tel +27.22. 9313121)

We dream of eating only free range proteins and found a wonderful source of Nguni beef, from Waylands farm, just outside Darling. Lizette and Michael Duckitt are the sixth generation on the farm and their family has been farming there since 1865! I think they know their stuff by now. They strive to farm holistically and in harmony with nature and their wild flower reserve is open to the public during flower season.
 

"We are using the “holistic grazing” system. This enhances the natural vegetation which means that the more we graze the more food we get for the animals to eat and the healthier they are. Everything from the daisy’s to the birds are benefiting from this system. "  says Lizette.
That's our kind of thinking, so we gave it a try.

 We bought their Nguni meat chunks for mincing and made our own beef sausage, mince meat and beef patties. Nothing compares to eating your own, home made sausage, with absolutely no added anything. Just pure beef. Free-Range. Local. Lekker!
