NESTLED UNDER THE IMPOSING GREAT WESTERN TIERS, IN TASMANIA’S CENTRAL HIGHLANDS, IS OUR SMALL SCALE FREE-RANGE DEER FARM.

Mole Creek is a place where hunters and trappers have forged pathways through the land, and the pastures have been carefully managed by farmers for generations. Here, our 130-acre farm is home to over 600 deer. With only perimeter fences, they are raised free-range for life. This sustainable practice provides customers with exceptional premium venison.

TRACEABLE

WE CAN TRACE
EVERY CUT TO
IT’S SOURCE

Our free range, pasture fed process is all about saying no to shortcuts.

100% natural, free from antibiotics and growth hormones, the welfare of our deer throughout their life is our priority - happy deer makes for delicious venison. On-site processing means not only that our deer are never stressed but our environmental footprint is very low.

We have a wide selection of beautiful venison cuts and artisanal products for local and international restaurants and retailers.

COMMITTED TO EVERY CUT

We are extremely fortunate to have the expertise of our Master Butcher, Joel Houghton, who is driven by a passion for naturally and sustainably reared, pasture-grazed meats. At Springfield, he shares his experience and dedication to using every cut - a nose-to-tail philosophy to our products and experiences.
