John and Colleen Nyman put ethical meat on the plates of their neighbours. That's why they branched off from their traditional farming backgrounds in 2006 to do it their way on a farm near Picton. They make no claims of being certified organic. Rather, the couple employs organic, sustainable and ethical practices wherever they can. They raise animals on a diet of fresh "green chop" and vegetables and keep grains to a minimum. The animals get plenty of fresh air and are allowed to breed in-season. The Nymans sell their meat through their Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programme. John and Colleen get lots of help from their parents and their young son, Shea.
