Eli has always had an interest in pigs growing up and finally found himself farming them in 2015 when he had the opportunity to farm stock on land that had once belonged to his Grandfather. 

Although he originally had dorper sheep, he found that the land needed more improving and could not sustain a flock. After that realisation came the idea to get pigs to assist him with turning and improving the soil. Eli found himself a large white x breeding pair and as pigs do, they multiplied - quickly! 

As the herd grew, Eli decided that it was pigs that he truly wanted to raise, but with a more ethical and sustainable focus. He began building pig purposed infrastructure and expanding into rare and heritage breeds. With many mouths to feed and paddocks to fence, Eli began selling at the Camden Saleyards, and later selling individual cuts of fresh and cured pork at farmers markets across the southern highlands and south coast areas.

Pure bred pigs are a major focus of the farm, which also operates as a pig stud that breeds Hampshire and Duroc pigs, which are the rarest breeds in Australia. 

In 2023 Eli exhibited his first pigs at the Sydney Royal Easter show, and later at the Adelaide Royal. Showing pigs has now become an important part in the Dewsburys calendar, with many more shows to come.
