The Farmers Note:
When you come to the Changing Habits farm you have entered a place where nature is doing its job. Our whole focus is to help nature by improving soil health with the help of our cattle and chickens and strategic moving, mulching and planting. The land is managed using Regenerative Farming Principles including cell grazing, natural sequence farming, biodynamics, multi species pastures and syntropic. During the past 7 years, we have fenced off the riparian area and planted thousands of trees to push back the privet (English hedge – not native to Australia), we have planted over 600 fruit trees of varying varieties, grown garlic, ginger, herb and vegetable gardens, tended to livestock including, pigs, ducks, horses, chickens, and cattle. Just recently we have built a shed to implement education courses for small scale farmers and back yard gardens to use regenerative principles without the use of pesticides, fertilises, or herbicides.
