Our Vision
The Family Farm vision has four parts:
- To produce healthy & nutrient rich food as part of a resilient & profitable model of regenerative agriculture;
- To balance relationships between nature and production agriculture as part of ecosystem restoration, including a focus on soil health, carbon sequestration and planting native and food producing trees;
- To utilise the farm and Eco Lodge as a source of education, accommodation and inspiration, allowing people to connect back to nature, food and farming; and
- To be open and share the farm’s resources, building a community model that shows what is possible when we work cooperatively with each other and nature.

I've been to Disneyland twice, but the farm is better.

Beautiful lodgings & scenery but the animals were the biggest hit. It was so great to see how excited the kids were to be "farmers" for a few
