The Patch Organics
The Patch Organics is a husband and-wife small enterprise based on permaculture ethics and principles. We operate on Levenvale Farm in Bellingen, NSW which consists of 300 acres of lush green pasture, 200 acres of beautiful rainforest surrounded by amazing mountain scenery. We operate a 1-acre organic and biodynamic market garden and run a flock of 200 organic and pasture-raised chickens for meat. We also run courses, workshops and tours focusing on food resilience. We love food, growing food and increasing connections to food. We are located 5km from Bellingen town, 20km from the nearest beach and 30km to Coffs Harbour.
 
Please get in touch with us well in advance, as we are a busy farm and family and don’t get a chance to reply promptly.

Why I became a WWOOF Host

Luigi and I are permaculturists and believe that our connection to food, how we grow it, how we organise ourselves around it, how we connect to the land over it is the most fundamental system change we need to begin regenerating our landscapes and culture.

Coming from the city, we began our own food journey many years ago and value all the time we spent with mentors, educators and farming friends that helped us along the way. In turn, we want to help anyone and everyone who is seeking the same kind of connection.
