Tales from the farm
FINAL BEEF HAMPERS FOR 2025 🥩
This is your last chance for the year to fill your freezer with our premium grass-fed beef, raised right here at 3 Bears Farm.
Our South Devon cattle are a heritage breed known for their beautiful marbling, tenderness and rich flavour — and after thriving through a lush spring, they’re looking absolutely superb. These steers have never been drenched, never vaccinated — just well cared for, fat and happy, living naturally on pasture.
We also allow a long hang time (up to 3 weeks) — something you won’t find at the supermarket — giving the meat exceptional tenderness and depth of flavour.
Each hamper includes a beautiful mix of cuts:
📦 8kg Gourmet Hamper – $285
📦 16kg Family Hamper – $555
📦 30kg Apocalypse Hamper – $999
🥩 5kg Mince & Sausage Pack – $125
We also have grass-fed bones and our pasture-raised eggs available as extras.
➡️ Order online at or message us directly if you’d like something more custom (half or whole beasts available too).
📆 Delivery/Pick-up is Saturday, November 22nd
These are limited and usually sell fast — get in touch if you’d like to secure your share of the good stuff.
Thanks for supporting small-scale, ethical farming ❤️

A QUESTION FOR OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY BEFORE WE GO AND BUY NEW
Our old timber cattle yards have finally reached the end of their life. They’ve served us well, but they are now soft, splitting and no longer safe even with our quiet, gentle cattle.
Before we head down the path of buying a new set, we wanted to ask here first:
Does anyone local have a set of freestanding / portable cattle panels or yards that you’re no longer using?
We only run around 20 head, so we’re not after anything huge just enough panels and a couple of gates to:
• Bring them in safely
• Draft/separate when needed
• And ideally run them into a crush/head bail (if someone is also selling one)
We don’t need concrete or permanent yards freestanding panels would actually be ideal.
We’re happy to pay a fair price, pick up, and give them a second life here rather than them sitting in a paddock unused.
If you know someone, or have something tucked away behind a shed, please message us even if you’re unsure whether it’s suitable. Warm leads welcome.
Thank you the support of this community has made a huge difference to our farm more than once, and we’re grateful to be able to ask here first.

Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou! 🙏🙏🙏
We shared our egg glut situation last week and the response was overwhelming.
That post was seen by close to 39,000 people and shared over 100 times — but it was the actions behind those shares that really floored us.
People bought boxes of eggs just to gift them.
Friends split boxes and shared with neighbours.
Retailers and venues stepped in and private caterers turned our eggs into magnificent sweet treats.
What could have been a very rough week eased because our community stepped up.
We are now back to a more manageable level and we’re pleased that we may have found some longer term relationships and more importantly, we’ve been reminded what it means to live in the country: when someone needs help, people show up.
We are deeply grateful. 🙏
Thank you for having our backs! It means more than you know.

3 BEARS FARM IS IN A MINI-CRISIS — AND WE NEED YOUR HELP
When Avian Bird Flu wiped out so much supply, the country went into shortage and prices spiked. A lot of new and existing producers rushed to capitalise by building up flocks fast.
Now — months later — we’re in the opposite scenario: a nationwide egg glut.
Big players have dropped their prices to move stock, but our reality hasn’t changed.
It still costs the same to raise and care for our hens — our feed, labour, compliance, and animal welfare don’t get cheaper just because the market swings.
Our regular customers have reduced orders, and short-term buyers are price-matching against industrial eggs. At those prices, with the work that goes into pasture-raised food, we may as well throw the eggs away.
This is the difference between commodity eggs and real food.
If you’re in a position to support a local farm right now — we genuinely need you.
We have a surplus THIS WEEK and we want these eggs in fridges, not in the bin.
Pasture-raised eggs from happy hens on our 48-acre farm in Tylden
– Box of 180 eggs
– Minimum net weight 700g per dozen
– Can do different sizing on request
= $127.50
Ways you can help:
• Take a box for your household
• Split a box with friends/family
• Gift a tray instead of a bottle of wine
• Share this post to someone who bakes or caters
They’re some of the best eggs around — and your support right now makes all the difference.
Message us to organise pick-up or we can deliver on Thursday to Tylden, Trentham, Woodend, Gisborne, Riddells, Sunbury and some suburbs in Melbourne.

Pastured eggs are the best eggs!
Grass fed beef
Seasonal produce
Welcome and thanks for your interest in sourcing quality produce that’s grown ethically and locally!
In September 2018 we purchased our stunning 48 acre farm in the Macedon Ranges with the intention of slowly developing it over five years into a working farm and shining example of ethical food production, native revegetation and regenerative agriculture.
Then life happened. 😉
The premature birth of our beautiful daughter Leela, the 2019 bush-fires and finally Covid-19 ended my work in the events industry and has motivated us to radically accelerate our plans!
We’re egg’cited to be starting our regenerative and ethical food journey with delicious pastured eggs and premium quality grass-fed beef.
Our “Brave Hen” eggs are laid by our pampered chooks who are raised on green pasture, with access to the sun, bugs, and fresh air. The chickens eat a natural omnivore diet the way Mother Nature intended. Our clucky ladies follow a few days behind our grass fed cattle helping rejuvenate our pastures while feasting through the pasture, chicken paradise..YUM!
We are 100% committed to animal welfare and ethical farming, you can be assured every creature and plant is given the respect and care it needs to thrive. Let us know where you are and what you would like on your menu!
We look forward to providing yourself and your loved ones with farm fresh locally grown produce!
