Short Property Description
Eden Farm is nestled on the Broken Creek near Numurkah, a lovely 25 minutes drive north of Shepparton up near the pristine Murray River in Victoria, Australia.
The farm is fully powered by solar and is a busy, sustainable, biodynamically-certified farm with Maine-Anjou/short-horn cattle that are grass fed, well natured, calm and muscular animals.
In addition to growing prime biodynamic beef, Katherina and Gary Baker of Eden Farm also grow vegetables, fruit, olives, sunflowers, crops, spring flowers, corn and have various friendly care animals including rabbits, cats, dogs, chickens and milking cows that are used across the social enterprise, Eden Farm Wellness.
The animals are friendly and even the bull, Tas, delights in having his neck rubbed ’til the cows come home.
The Bakers are also building a bush café on the property from local red gum, as well as up-cycled and recycled materials including 80+ year old lining boards, ash wood and corrugated iron.
