Ken and Mary Lang have over 30 years experience farming free range deer, and strive to maintain the quality of the final product.

Our animals live in a stress free environment, where they are free to express their natural behaviours, and they have unrestricted access to 61 acres of lush pastures and fresh air in the picturesque hills of the Yarra Valley.

The seasonal addition of whole oats and natural grass hay allows for a balanced nutritional intake during the colder winter months.

On our Yarra Valley farm we currently run approximately 150 fallow deer, 20 sambar deer, as well as over 40 boar goats.
