Irresistibly good.

Once you’ve tasted Manning Valley Naturally we know you’ll be hooked. Why? Because we certainly are!

From the moment we started, we had one vision. Create grassfed beef the way it should be. To us, that means cattle raised in the natural way in the best possible environment, bringing the perfect balance of nature and quality beef to the world. A world in which the allure of naturally healthy grassfed beef is, arguably, more irresistible than ever.

And for that, the name Manning Valley Naturally has become synonymous with premium grassfed beef. With 30 awards under our belts and counting, Manning Valley Naturally leads the way for Australian grassfed beef.

Full of goodness.

Manning Valley Naturally Grassfed Beef is just that. 100% grassfed beef! That means it contains good, healthy fats. Grassfed beef is one of the best ways to source healthy omega 3 fats and CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid). It’s also high in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants including beta-carotene, which is a precursor to vitamin A, and high levels of vitamin E, zinc, iron, B6 and B12.

Couple that with our commitment to raising our cattle in one of the cleanest environments in Australia, with no antibiotics or hormones, and you have premium grassfed beef that is good for you… naturally.

Taking the pork industry back opver 25 years.

In the late 1990s a group of Pork Producers led by the late Joe “The Pork Pioneer” Byrne (SMH Sydney Magazine – Food Hall of Fame Member), had become disillusioned with the Pork Industry and where it was headed.

At the time growers where being paid higher money to produce lean Pork with little or no incentive paid for any other quality traits … during this time per capita consumption rates of pork fell and people would often comment that the pork they were buying was flavourless and tough.

This courageous group decided to buck the convention of the time and produce the best eating quality Pork in Australia … Bangalow Sweet Pork had arrived!
Bangalow Sweet Pork has the very simple aim to produce the best quality & best tasting Pork in Australia.

The Bangalow Sweet Pork fat content was tested by the CSRIO and the results indicate it is predominately unsaturated in excess of 60% (unpublished data, Food Science Australia 1998). This fat profile is the basis of our unique flavour and tenderness compares favourably with other meats, including most pork generally available in Australia.

Healthy chooks raised to the highest standard across South East Queensland.

It all started back in 1973, when two Queensland families — the Benfer’s and the Elks — decided to do chicken farming differently. They believed in a better way: raising birds with care, respecting the land, and delivering quality food to tables. That belief became Golden Cockerel, and from there, the brand we know and love today: Elgin Valley Farms.

Today, those same values guide everything we do. We’ve grown from a few local farms to a network spanning Southeast Queensland. From the valleys of Toowoomba to the Glasshouse Mountains, and our heart at Mount Cotton, these aren’t just places on a map. They’re part of who we are. Generations of farmers have worked these lands, and their experience shows in everything we do.

Even in our growth, we’ve never lost sight of what matters. Passion, care, adaptability, growth and dependability aren’t just words on a wall. They’re how we operate every single day.
