Fat Pig Farm Returns

Anchovy at Fat Pig Farm – The Residency

We have long admired Thi Le’s cooking, from her collab she did at Dark MOFO in Hobart a few year’s back and from afar when she cooks at her Richmond based Vietnamese inspired eatery. Sadie even took me to Melbourne’s Anchovy in the week pre Covid, on a very rare date night in Melbourne. Sadie ended up spending half the night talking to Thi, showing each other photos of radicchio and swapping tips on market gardeners and produce while I just rejoiced in the flavours. This is some of the most individual food I’ve tried, with complexity, honesty, and personality, all on the one plate. Thi’s food is spicy, heady, and completely unlike the pared back European style Fat Pig is known for.

Which is why we think this residency (roughly January 17th to the end of March) of Anchovy at Fat Pig Farm is brilliant. They share our love of provenance. Of freshness. Of choosing with good intentions and cooking with an emphasis on flavour and pleasure. We like the way this food will play with your senses, your preconceptions. We like the way modern Australian food can take inspiration from people’s heritage and place.

Thi was the first female to win Chef of the Year for Gourmet Traveller, which says two things – one they were slow to recognise women. And two that Thi is a cracking cook who quietly gains respect for her gifts in the kitchen not her ego on the pans.

We’re excited to see what Anchovy brings to Tassie, to our corner of the state, and to our farm. And we think this is a wonderful opportunity to taste some remarkable food in our quite delightful corner of the state. Bookings essential.

So if you are thinking of requiring some luxury accommodation in the Huon valley when visiting Fat Pig Farm  then book directly at River Front Estate

Get Ready for Fire Season with BAL-40 Roller Shutters

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

BAL40-Roller Shutters

These shutters are typically used for fire protection in commercial and residential settings, constructed to meet specific safety standards of BAL40. They provide a barrier against fire, and flying embers/debris and smoke, helping to contain it and protect the building and its occupants.  The BAL 40 standard, or Bushfire Attack Level 40, is a rating that indicates a building is at high risk of ember attack and exposure to high levels of radiant heat. It’s the second-highest level of bushfire attack before direct exposure to flames.

We have shown here some extremely larger BAL-40 Roller shutters with Manual override motors.  The manual override motor allows the roller shutter to be lowered or raised in the event of a power failure.  You can also install your own UPS – uninterruptable power supply. A UPS is a device that provides backup power to enable the roller shutter to lower and or raise in the event of main power supply fail.

  1. Versatility: They allow spaces to be used for various activities, adapting to weather conditions. You can enjoy an open-air experience on pleasant days and close the roof during inclement weather.
  2. Natural Light: When open, retractable roofs bring in natural light, enhancing the ambiance of the space.
  3. Ventilation: They can improve airflow when open, helping to keep areas cool and comfortable.
  4. Protection: When closed, they provide shelter from rain, wind, and snow, protecting the underlying space and its occupants.

External Skylight Roller Shutter

We have now trialed our new Skylight roller shutter system in Hobart, unlike traditional roller shutters this system pulls the roller shutter down in roller bearing rails.

A skylight roller shutter is a type of shading system designed for skylights or roof windows. These shutters are installed on the exterior or interior of a skylight and can be rolled up or down to control the amount of light entering the room. They offer benefits such as:

  1. Light Control: They can help regulate the amount of natural light entering the space, which is useful for reducing glare and protecting furniture from UV damage.
  2. Energy Efficiency: By blocking out sunlight, they can help in maintaining the internal temperature, reducing the need for air conditioning or heating.
  3. Privacy: They provide a level of privacy by blocking views from outside.
  4. Weather Protection: Some roller shutters can offer protection against the elements, including rain and wind, which can help in extending the lifespan of your skylight.

We can now offer the skylight roller shutter in Hobart and Skylight Roller Shutter in Ballarat
