First trip to our organic farm

A couple o f weeks ago Matt and I went on an expedition to see our farm.  By our farm i mean that we have bought a share in a farm through a scheme called Organic Farm Share.  Our share in the farm will ensure us access to affordable organic food that is produced locally. 

 The farm has three dams - the top being spring fed and which consequently feeds the other two dams.  In time one dam will be stocked with fish for us and our co-owners to eat.  The dams also ensure that all produce can be irrigated without the need for artficial systems to be introduced.




AS well as receiving beautiful food once a week. As shareholders we can choose to stay in the safari tents on the farm once they are established.  While on the farm we can learn about the permaculture farming practices and how we might use these ideas in our own home gardens.

The farm is situated on the Richmond river.  We can't wait till our first harvest party in a couple of months time!
