Our Property

Our property is situated near Guyra at the top of the catchment (1320 m above sea level) in the New England Tablelands of northern NSW.

 

We have been farming and grazing our 120 Hectare property for the last 26 years and have made some major improvements. Some of these are:-

 

Remineralisation of our soils toward the ‘Albrecht soil balancing’ model

 

Planted thousands of trees/shrubs/herbs over the whole property. When we took over the property back 1983 we had 130 trees in total. The lack of trees were due to 'die back' in the area combine with over clearing for farming purposes.

 

Created many ‘eco-sinks’ by fencing off dams to allow habitat for native birds and animals as well as increasing biodiversity through the edge effect between grassland and water and scrubby areas

 

Using biodynamics to re-align the farms energy systems and enhance the soil biology. Part of our farm is currently in our pre-certification for organics as we have always tried to be as close to organic as possible. Our cropping operation of potatoes and small vegetable crops is now under Organic Certification.

 

The farm is ‘carbon positive’ as we have continually built our soil humus levels through planned grazing to meet plant recovery and this has allowed soil fertility to build. We are constantly soil testing and recording organic matter levels.
