Short Property Description
We are a beautiful organic blueberry farm in the Huon Valley Tasmania. We have 1600 blueberry bushes with our season generally running from Dec-February.
We also have geese, chickens, ducks and sheep plus a hoop house and vegetable garden to grow a lot of our greens. We are a family of four and live in a straw-bale house. We also have a great converted barn for our WWOOFer accommodation.
We are 5 minutes from a beautiful beach and 15 minutes from Cygnet. (And only an hour from Hobart)
Organic/Biological methods we use
Blueberries are a fairly easy crop to maintain once established. These bushes were planted about 10 years ago and we hand prune once a year and then there’s the picking season.
We do not use anything on our bushes at all… we don’t even fertilise them as they don’t like it!!
We have an underground natural water supply which keeps them hydrated and they are easy care.
