Organic/Biological methods we use
We use organic principles in our orchards, vegetable gardens and our native bushfood gardens. Our extensive garden aims to create maximum diversity and habitat for native birds and animals. Plantings have been done on the whole property to enhance existing bush and create small ecosystems.
