Tales from the farm
What a big frost this morning!! Our chooks need to wait for it to melt before jumping on the trampoline (or drinking any water!)
Some mornings really stop you. The light, the stillness, the chickens slowly waking under the golden haze.
But it’s dry, unbelievably dry. The ground is cracked and parched, the dams almost empty and we’re hanging out for decent rain. Every day without it makes things that bit harder.😔
Still, it’s important to notice moments like this. They don’t fix anything, but they help us keep going.
Here’s hoping the rain’s not far off.

I'm truly amazed at how many people don't even twig that we are in a pretty significant drought... even the desal plant is being switched back on. Hope you guys get some decent soaking rains that stick around, not just pummel through
Stunning photo but yes we desperately need rain ☔️☔️
We are with you on this, we have a bore which we use to keep some things green, but its not potable for stock. Just hanging out for rain….
Farm Gate Special: Pullet Eggs
We’ve got two boxes of eggs available from our pullets:
- 6 trays for $97.50 (average weight is 500-600g per doz) or
- 5 trays for $81 (average weight is 500-600g per doz)
Note: 30 eggs per tray
Pullet eggs are smaller than your standard egg, but they’re packed with flavor – the yolks are richer, and the balance of yolk to white makes them perfect for baking, frying, or poaching. They’re a seasonal treat that doesn’t last long, and we think they’re some of the best-tasting eggs you’ll find.
If you’re interested, let us know – they are a seasonal special and will run out soon. Pick-up is from the farm gate in Tylden by appointment.

Good news — our grass-fed beef hampers are back! Our next delivery/pickup is Saturday 24th May. 🥩
We’ve been working through some pretty tough challenges lately — from the Hardwick’s abattoir changes to the deepening drought and a serious hay shortage. It’s not easy, but we’re sticking with it because we believe good, local food matters — and we hope you do too. 🌾
Our beef comes from a small herd raised slowly and respectfully on our farm, rotating through paddocks alongside the chickens. No hormones, no GMOs, no unnecessary treatments — just animals living as naturally as possible on pasture, with care and attention from us every day. 🐄
Now more than ever, farmers need your support.
Ordering a hamper means backing small-scale, ethical agriculture — and bringing home the best beef you can buy.
Support local. Know your farmer. Eat with intention.

Farm Gate Special: Pullet Eggs
It’s been a while since we’ve had spare eggs but this week we’ve seen a surge in numbers due to our new flock starting to lay.
We’ve got two boxes of 180 eggs available from our pullets:
- $97.50 (average weight is 500-600g per doz) or
- $112.50 (average weight is 600-700g per doz).
Pullet eggs are smaller than your standard egg, but they’re packed with flavor – the yolks are richer, and the balance of yolk to white makes them perfect for baking, frying, or poaching.

Pastured eggs are the best eggs!
Grass fed beef
Seasonal produce
Welcome and thanks for your interest in sourcing quality produce that’s grown ethically and locally!
In September 2018 we purchased our stunning 48 acre farm in the Macedon Ranges with the intention of slowly developing it over five years into a working farm and shining example of ethical food production, native revegetation and regenerative agriculture.
Then life happened. 😉
The premature birth of our beautiful daughter Leela, the 2019 bush-fires and finally Covid-19 ended my work in the events industry and has motivated us to radically accelerate our plans!
We’re egg’cited to be starting our regenerative and ethical food journey with delicious pastured eggs and premium quality grass-fed beef.
Our “Brave Hen” eggs are laid by our pampered chooks who are raised on green pasture, with access to the sun, bugs, and fresh air. The chickens eat a natural omnivore diet the way Mother Nature intended. Our clucky ladies follow a few days behind our grass fed cattle helping rejuvenate our pastures while feasting through the pasture, chicken paradise..YUM!
We are 100% committed to animal welfare and ethical farming, you can be assured every creature and plant is given the respect and care it needs to thrive. Let us know where you are and what you would like on your menu!
We look forward to providing yourself and your loved ones with farm fresh locally grown produce!
