Paris Creek Farms
BIO DYNAMIC
AND ORGANIC
CRAFTED WITH PASSION
Our bio-dynamic organic products and how we do things differently
We admit it. We’re obsessed with the delicious delights of dairy (and of alliteration). Here you’ll find oodles of information about our range, and about sustainable bio-dynamic organic farming. Because that is the heart and soul of everything we do. It’s our raison-d’etre as the French say. Our Thing, as our American friends have it.
And we’ll also share our thoughts with you on topics du jour such as probiotics and the advantages (many) and disadvantages (none) of ‘no-added anything’ dairy products like our Quark (You should see what it does for healthy gut flora, it’s positively exhilarating! Try it if your tummy is a bit down in the dumps). Not to mention we source all our delicious milk from carbon neutral South Australian dairy farms – it’s all part of our goal to ensure we are as sustainable as possible for future generations to come.
Who are we
As our name suggests, our dairy is based at Paris Creek in South Australia. This is important because where we come from defines who we are and what we do. Paris Creek Farms is one of a small but growing clan of ‘bio-dynamic’ Australian farmers and artisans. This means we are absolute fanatics (in a good way) about respecting our land. We believe to the tips of our gumboots that healthier land produces healthier and happier cows. And better milk of course.
We hope you love tasting our produce as much we love crafting it.
How We're Different
The thought of what most dairy products endure between farm and table makes us shudder. Ours, on the other hand, are all created from certified bio-dynamic organic milk from carbon neutral dairy farms. Every last drop is sourced from proudly South Australian herds and delivered fresh to Paris Creek Farms.
But that’s just the beginning. Every batch of our yogurt and cheese is unique. You’ll notice it straight away. They look different. And taste different. (Good different, we assure you).
A Master's Touch
Good dairy does not create itself. It needs the hand, eye and most importantly soul of a master to help it along the path to greatness. So, our team of cheese and yogurt obsessives hover over every small batch: poised to intercede, but also happy to give Nature her chance.
Their experience selects the correct proportions of live, bio—active cultures. Their knowledge allocates just enough time to let the mighty microbes do their work. Their intuition determines how long to press the curds and how hard.
Award judges around the world have tasted the difference. We’re pretty sure you will too.
Sustainability
Bio-dynamic farms are, by their very nature, the epitome of sustainability. And far be it from us to let the side down.
We have always endeavoured to maintain the highest standards possible for sustainable farming, in 2014 we gave our facilities at Paris Creek Farms not just a once-over, but a twice-over. Harnessing solar power, solar hot water and earthly smarts, we are now one of the most energy-friendly dairy producers in this vast land. But we didn’t stop there! Recently we have embarked on a journey to progress our sustainability even further because there is always room to improve, right?
We’re proud to now source our 100% bio-dynamic organic milk from carbon neutral South Australian dairy farms. We’re continuing to work alongside our farmers to ensure their practices are as sustainable as possible and are looking towards more improvements to further decrease emissions. But while our farmers have lower carbon footprints than other larger dairy farms and fewer cows per hectare, our journey doesn’t stop there.
Our commitment continues as we aim to reduce our carbon footprint, all the way down to net zero!
