Sheepdog Co. is a working farm. Not a brand exercise. Not a weekend hobby. A lease on 120 acres in the Shoalhaven hinterland, and the work that comes with it.
The Johnston family runs it. Australian beef cattle on grass — more than one breed, and no favourites. Thirty-one free-range hens that lay every day. Beehives. Early starts. Weather that does what it wants.
What we run
We keep it simple. We do a few things and we do them properly.
- Australian beef cattle, raised on pasture. Multiple breeds. No shortcuts.
- Thirty-one free-range hens. Real eggs, collected daily.
- Beehives working the paddocks and the treeline.
More than one breed. One standard.
Why
Because good food comes from good ground and honest work. Not from a supermarket shelf. Not from a story on a label. From cattle that graze, hens that roam, and someone who turns up every morning to do the job.
Do the work. The rest follows.
Where
Tapitallee sits in the green folds behind Nowra, in the Shoalhaven. It is cattle country — creeks, ridgelines, and grass. This is where Sheepdog Co. is based, and where everything we produce comes from.
What's next
The Sheepdog Crate is coming — grass-fed beef, boxed and sent monthly. Not yet. When it's ready, it's ready. Until then: the work.
