"I’ve tried everything I ordered, and the quality is exceptional. The chicken was beautifully gelatinous, with the sauce left from steaming bursting with flavour. The duck had a natural sweetness, and the wild boar? Tender, with evenly distributed fat that made the casserole rich and satisfying.

Overall, I’m so happy with the products!” – Chef Shun

Feedback like this reminds us why we do what we do! Every product we supply is carefully sourced from small Australian family farms and wild harvesters committed to ethical practices and incredible quality.

Ever wondered what life is like on a biodynamic sh

Ever wondered what life is like on a biodynamic sheep farm? Vince Heffernan from Moorlands Lamb shares regular updates from his certified biodynamic farm, where holistic grazing is key. This approach optimises grass growth, builds soil structure, and protects perennial grasses, creating a thriving environment for his animals. 🐑

Moorlands is fully Demeter-certified, and all lambs are born and live their entire lives on the farm. They graze on a smorgasbord of natural grass varieties, with no artificial inputs—no GM feed, fungicides, insecticides, chemical fertilisers, or pesticides. This commitment to bio-dynamic principles ensures healthy, living soil and produces some of the finest lamb, hogget, and mutton in Australia.

At Hand Sourced, we’re proud to supply Vince’s award-winning lamb nationwide. Don’t you deserve the best food you can source? 🌍🍴

Bringing you Chicken Liver Parfait, from @reeceink

Bringing you Chicken Liver Parfait, from @reeceinkpen from @paranormalwines.

Chicken Liver Parfait with a dressing made from chopped mizuna and hazelnuts served alongside toast.

The parfait is made using livers from Sommerlad Chickens, brought to us by @grasslandpoultry in Wellington, NSW via @handsourced. These heritage chickens are all pasture raised on regenerative farms and are there for all of their lives - this means they are bred and then allowed to roam and forage on what the farm has to offer - leafy greens, grass, insects and other microorganisms found in the soil. They are then processed on the farm, sparing the stress of the birds from travel and with no introductions to chemicals. These chickens are truly the star of the show and it’s so wonderful to be able to use a product that is deeply rooted in my ethos of cooking with sustainable, ethically raised and sourced food.

The livers are so clean in flavour - it should go with a garnish that highlights both the livers as well as season (spring) - so I used mizuna, a peppery leaf belonging to the brassica family, dressed with cold press hazelnut oil, salt and chardonnay vinegar.”

Boer goat cutlets are perfect for the BBQ—except

Boer goat cutlets are perfect for the BBQ—exceptionally tender and full of flavour juat as they are, or with a simple marinade of olive oil, lemon, oregano, and garlic.

Many describe goat as tasting like lamb, with a hint of beef’s richness. Grill until pink inside (about 4 minutes each side) for a deliciously unique experience. We <3 @thegourmetgoatlady goat - what about you?

Regenerative soil is alive—thriving with plants, insects, fungi, and microbes. Built through regenerative farming, this soil supports life by:

🌱 Boosting Biodiversity: Diverse crops keep ecosystems balanced.
🌍 Storing Carbon: Traps CO₂ to fight climate change.
💧 Improving Water Retention: Minimal tilling holds moisture.
🍃 Reducing Chemicals: Fewer pesticides and synthetics.
🐄 Using Pastured Animals: Natural fertilisers from grazing.

All our farmers follow regenerative practices, working with nature to restore soil health and create self-sustaining ecosystems. It's evident by the quality of the food on your plate.
