Tales from the farm
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. 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.
We had our suspicions... and now we have proof. 🔍🦊
The alpacas have been slacking off in their chicken guardian duties. The other night, caught on thermal: a fox casually strolling through the paddock with the girls barely blinking one of their lushes eyelids at him. Those lazy layabouts!!!
Chances are the herd is getting a little too large and with that comes a change in their nature. It's all chilling out with the ladies and no STOMPY STOMPY!
Fortunately the stick that goes bang has performed admirably along with the gent aiming it. 13 foxes removed from the environment in just the last two weeks and still they come like a fluffy-tailed canine zombie horde.
Who needs HBO when you have a farm and a few thousand chickens to protect. ANYWAY.....
Who wants to buy some Alpacas... 🦙🦙🦙 seriously...... time to thin the herd a little and wake these Llama wannabeees up a bit.
Let us know if you're interested. <3

Well done 👍 been hearing the vixens vocalising a lot more last 2 wks so things are just going to get busier.
I was thinking donkeys perhaps…they are fierce. We used to have alpacas as lambing guards. We found that one fox just walked between them every night for a month till they got used to him, then he started attacking
Get some Maremma’s. Plenty need rescuing. Damn foxes!
It’s been a brutal start to the year — drought here, floods up north. Hay’s rare and more than double the price compared to normal. We are choosing to keep our cattle well nourished through tough times as we think they’re worth it!
Thanks to Hay and Straw (Smeaton) for providing the feed and Sam’s contracting for delivering it!

We discovered a handsome rooster amongst our pullets. Would anyone like him? He’s about 30 weeks old, hyline brown.

How friendly is he? 😅
Hey everyone,
We wanted to let you know that our next round of grassfed beef hampers is planned for Saturday, February 15, and they’re likely to sell out quickly.
With changes at the Kyneton abattoir making things tricky for small farms like ours, this could possibly be the last round—at least until we can find a suitable alternative. We’re still looking for solutions, but in the meantime, if you’ve been thinking of grabbing a hamper, now’s the time!
Our beef is raised ethically and sustainably, right here on the farm, and we’re so proud to share it with you.
Please order via our website if you’d like to secure a hamper or have any questions. Thanks, as always, for your incredible support—it keeps us going! 🌻🌻🌻

Registered! ☺️
That’s sad that the abattoir is making things tricky. Local farmers should be their priority. It’s a shame how things have gone.

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!
