Our beautiful lush valley is abundant with wildlife, creeks, dams and surrounded by bush ! Permaculture principles apply with the growing of our food, nourishment of the land, animals and ourselves.    

Coquon Farm is a small (90 acre ) property on the banks of the Hunter River just north of Maitland, NSW.  

Hi and thank you for reading our profile.  Our beautiful cattle farm is set in the picturesque Eurobodalla Shire. We raise Angus/Friesian cows, our herd usually runs at about 35 cows, heifers and steers.  We have one lovely Limousine bull who loves our girls and gives us beautiful calves usually in July/August if we get the timing right!  We use a strip feeding method allowing the cows to graze in a given area for a day or two before moving them into the next "strip".  This is done using electric tape and secure insulated poles for the tape to pass through once knocked into the ground.  Not an arduous task at all and all part of stopping the paddocks from being trampled.  We routinely inject our herd for intestinal worms etc. to keep them comfortable and prevent disease; we also drench them topically for lice.  We have a stock yard, pens, gates and a cattle crush to enable safe handling when performing these tasks. We have approximately 30 free range chooks and a rooster which we feed twice daily with top shelf grain and left over vegetable and fruit scraps.  Eggs are collected daily of course from their nesting boxes in their chicken coop and sold to local friends.  The chooks have a very large area in which to peck and scratch, including a 3 tier orchard of fruit and citrus. We grow as many vegetables as we can in our netted 3 tier vegetable garden using cow, chicken and horse manure for fertiliser.  We have a small compost heap but are in the process of purchasing materials to build a 3 bay compost area, sufficient for the tractor to turn the compost regularly.  We have many tanks for rain water that is utilised on the gardens and for washing and showering.  We also have a bore which retrieves mineral water from the aquifer; this is used to pump water into the cattle troughs and don't they love it.  We have a very large solar array on two roofs from which we draw our electricity although we do not rely solely on this for our energy needs - so there is always electricity even if the sun isn't shining. Our property is bordered on one side by the Tuross River and yes we have a swimming hole and sandy beach to enjoy.    

10 beautiful acres at Belli Park, Qld, only 30 min from Noosa. We run horse facilitated learning  programs for at risk youth and all abilities.
