Your Story

We are certified organic farmers passionate about regenerative agriculture principles and growing high quality, nutritious and sustainable produce. We have built our farm set up specifically to support biodiversity, soil health and  sustainable enterprises all in partnership with our land and environment. Very keen researchers and readers, we love the Talkin’ After Hours podcasts and webinars where we can learn from experts in various fields. We are trialling multiple strategies on our farm including multi species cover and intercropping, biostimulants (including making our own), Johnson su compost, vermicast, microbial monitoring, biodiversity monitoring, agroforestry cropping, large scale revegetation projects and more.

Key challenges I would like to solve are:

Finding sustainable buyers and markets for certified organic grain in WA.
