Poultry
Chickens for eggs, meat and manure. Visitors learn how a small flock can bring a family steady income.
The Farm
A farm you can learn from.
Our farm is a working classroom. Everything is run the way a small family could run it, so visitors, trainees and neighbours can see what works and copy it at home.
Small-scale farm enterprises
See it. Try it. Take the idea home.
Dairy cows
Milk for the household and manure for the soil. We show simple feeding, shelter and care that a small farm can manage.
Goats
Hardy, affordable animals that suit small farms. They give milk, meat and manure, and are easy to start with.
Oyster mushrooms
A clean, fast crop that needs very little space.
Mandala gardens
Circular beds that pack many crops into a small footprint and save water.
Seedling nursery
Nursery beds that grow seedlings to share with school gardens and new farmers.
The circular farm
Each part feeds the next.
Animal manure feeds compost, compost feeds the gardens, and garden waste feeds the animals. The farm also supplies some of the plant fibres used in our crafts.
