From Farm to Market: The Story Behind Allington Family Farm
If you've ever stopped by the Manning Road Farmers Market, there's a good chance you've come across Allington Family Farm. With their vibrant stall stocked full of pasture-raised eggs, free-range meats, and warm smiles, Zoe and Travis Allington have quickly become a favourite among locals who care about where their food comes from.
Allington Family Farm is a family-owned and operated farm that has been running for seven years and attending markets for over four. Their core mission? To provide customers with the opportunity to support regenerative, sustainable farming directly. Zoe and Travis have built their business from the ground up with a strong focus on ethical farming practices and transparency, ensuring that every product they sell has been lovingly raised by them.
What Makes Allington Family Farm Unique
Unlike many vendors, every single item you see at their stall has been grown or raised by Zoe and Travis themselves. From their pasture-raised eggs and chicken to their Berkshire pork, grass-fed beef and lamb, everything is produced on their own land using regenerative farming methods. That means no chemicals or sprays are used on their pastures, and their animals are raised outdoors in the sunshine, the way nature intended.
Their bestsellers? The eggs and chicken top the list. Customers rave about the difference in flavour and quality, something that's hard to find in standard supermarket offerings. Their Berkshire pork, with its rich and authentic taste, is another stand-out product that brings regulars back week after week.
A Passion for Community and Sustainability
"We are very proud to be able to offer pasture-raised eggs, chicken and pork, as well as grass-fed and finished beef and lamb," Zoe shares. "We love being part of the Manning Road Farmers Market community and bringing our produce to the wider community."
Being at the markets isn’t just about sales for Zoe and Travis. It's about connection. They’ve built strong relationships with their customers over the years and love being able to interact face-to-face. Every chat, every smile, and every thank-you reinforces the purpose behind their hard work.
The pair have also been intentional about giving back. From giveaways to local collaborations, Allington Family Farm is all about generosity and supporting others where they can. As they say, community is at the heart of everything they do.
Looking Ahead
Allington Family Farm continues to evolve. Zoe and Travis are currently expanding the egg side of their business due to increasing demand, and they’ve hinted at exciting new merchandise on the horizon, including branded caps, t-shirts and possibly even dog collars!
"We’ve been lucky to grow and diversify our offerings," says Zoe. "It’s still a work in progress, but there’s always something new happening on the farm."
Where to Find Them

Their dedication to ethical, quality food and their genuine love for what they do is evident in every interaction and every product sold. For anyone seeking delicious, farm-fresh produce grown with care, Allington Family Farm is one stall you don’t want to miss.
