Short Property Description

We are an intergenerational family in the early stages of establishing a permaculture property growing a collection of produce for community farmers markets.

The 1.7 hectares was previously a brickworks and so is mainly clay and landfill but it has been regenerated with local endemic species and the gradual weed removal has been by hand rather than chemical.

Plans include the establishment of a yabbie/fish pond, more raised beds, a mushroom shed and establishment of production routines.

Organic/Biological methods we use

We compost, mulch and weed, using no chemicals and encouraging natural processes wherever possible. Establishment of a larger composting system would be another priority.
