Your Story	We are Jeff and Michelle, farming on 120 acres in the Blackwood River valley, near the Goorbilyup (Blackwood River). Our mission is to ‘grow food, and grow farmers’ – more people, living, working and caring for the land and having access to markets, that’s our passion! We produce pasture-raised chickens as our main business, and have a small poultry micro-abattoir on our property. We also harvest and process chickens for other growers on a fee-for-service basis, to enable more family businesses access to processing facilities and to assist in bringing more of this food to people’s table.
