Before Windowrie became what it is today, our homestead had its own distinct charm. The previous owner, a devoted pig farmer, shared a bond with his animals unlike any other — he welcomed them into his home, quite literally. The pigs roamed freely, becoming as much a part of the house as the walls and roof themselves.
When our family took over and made the homestead our own, welcoming our first son, we began to see our home through a new lens. The thought of anything potentially affecting the purity of our home environment became a pressing concern. This led to a pivotal decision, to transition our vineyard practices to organic methods, ensuring that the land, the vines, and the home itself remained as natural and untouched as possible.
Pig In The House honours the quirky history of our homestead and the commitment we’ve made to organic farming. It’s a tribute to the past, and a promise for the future - just as the pigs found their place inside the house, we’ve found ours in nurturing the land with care and respect.
