STAN & BRIONY – FAT CARROT FARM
Stan and Bri were our 2023 winners of the 2023 Sprout Producer of the Year.
Fat Carrot Farm is a small, diverse market garden in the south of Tasmania run by Stan and Briony. They quietly go about growing some of the tastiest, organically produced vegetables we’ve tasted, supplying veg boxes to local customers and supplying some of the finest restaurants in Hobart.
Congratulations to Stan and Bri!
Comments from their passionate supporters
“They have integrated cider apple and animal production and are regenerating their whole property. They are enthusiastic contributors to small farming groups“
“Their apple juice is the best we’ve ever tasted! We love their openness and generosity to the small producer community in Tasmania. It’s been inspiring to watch their honesty in sharing the good and tough times in farming and the mental and emotional stain that can sometimes be felt by families on the land. Matthew and Coreen love their animals and are gently farming their patch of earth. Love it!“
“Our Mates Farm is a family owned and run, organic farm. Matt and Coreen have an intense passion for the food that they raise and grow on there farm and the quality and ethics are exceptional! They are strong influencers in the community. Attending and helping out at community events. They also contribute to raising awareness by speaking at events or on the radio. They are always there to help out other farmers when in need and are always willing to share their knowledge and experiences. I have been welcomed at their farm many times to be shown and taught how to improve our own farm for things such as pruning, grafting, covering a poly tunnel and so on. Nothing is ever hassle. From a community and hospitality perspective, I can’t think of a more deserving couple to receive this award!!!!!“
