Over a decade of Farmily care

Meet the team.

The Farmily team is an eclectic group driven by a vision: by working in unison with the land, we can provide the tools to learn, enjoy, and share the very best of what we produce. Make sure to say hello to us as you see each of us pulling together on the daily to make The Farm what you see today.

Our Responsibility

As we look to the next decade of The Farm, we plan on engaging with our community of all ages to offer accessible workshops, events and incredible hospitality to inspire the next generation of farmers, chefs, holiday-makers, students, home gardeners and more.

Our Impact

Our passion & energy grows here

What makes us

Person with tattoos is planting a small seedling in the soil, using their hands to place the plant into the dirt.

We’ve turned 48 tonnes of organic waste into compost so far, increasing our yield and minimising waste. This is an ongoing, daily effort we are proudly building on day by day.

Regenerative agriculture and localisation go hand in hand—thriving not in the anonymity of global markets, but in the intimacy of local economies. When we support local growers, eat seasonally, and participate in place-based economies, we begin to reweave the threads that hold life together.

Our farmily of tenants work in unison to eradicate waste, grow in harmony with the land and guess what - it makes more commercial sense.

Our goats aren’t just here for the friendly g’days. Because they are enthusiastic browsers, a small herd of about 20 to 30 goats can clear roughly half an acre to an acre of heavy weeds and brush in about 3 to 5 days
