Thank you for supporting Swagman Country Dining
Quality food. Sustainability. Respect for native animals and the Australian environment. Celebrating Australian bush flavours.
Our passion is bringing you a taste of Australia. We lovingly create delectable foods enhanced with native bush herbs and spices, the majority of which are grown on-site in our native kitchen gardens. We aim to provide signature house-made flavours unique to the Swagman.
Softfoot Farm is committed to sustainability and reducing environmental impacts. We strive to minimise our carbon emissions by sourcing products from our own garden and South Australian companies as much as possible. Additionally, our past, present and continuing tree planting efforts are working to eradicate our carbon footprint. Food leftovers, except for meat, are composted for use here on Softfoot Farm and also feed our worm farm. We have our own bee-hive for pollination of our gardens and for honey.
Profits from our business are allocated to the support of Softfoot’s conservation projects, aimed primarily at helping endangered native Australian wildlife. We have a number, of endangered species living and breeding in our Softfoot Sanctuaries, including the brush-tailed bettong and the southern brown bandicoot. Both species belong in this local area but have been affected drastically by land clearing and predation by cats and foxes.
We acknowledge the Ramindjeri people as the traditional custodians of the land on which we stand today.
