The Farm

Egg Production

The farm produces biodynamic eggs from free range hens. There are approximately 2,000 (genuine) free range hens, generating a regular income. The eggs are essentially a vegetarian egg, as the hens enjoy a mix of certified grains and milk from the dairy. There is a well established system of 6 mobile hen houses and 4 Maremma dogs, providing effective protection from predators and the elements. The eggs currently attract a premium wholesale price in a niche market in Sydney & Melbourne.

The Dairy

Biodynamic milk from the dairy herd is mixed with biodynamic grain and fed to the hens for feed. The dairy features a flowform effluent system – an environmentally friendly method for processing waste water. This is then redistributed to the paddocks via underground piping and a sprinkler system.

Other Potential

The red volcanic soils and ample annual rainfall give huge potential to grow organic vegetable crops for specialised markets. Organic/Biodynamic markets are a fast growing industry. There is potential to increase egg production on existing infrastructure to meet this demand.
