22.01.2022 Farmer of the Year Chris Hall from @hallfamilyorchards on the cover of @nswfarmers Farmer Magazine. Oddly enough this isnt the first time Ive shot at a cherry... orchard just after harvest with no cherries on the trees. This cover shot was the last shot of the day, the lets try something different shot. Chris took a small rest on the recently constructed cherry bed while I fired off his portrait. Chris is passionate about caring for his land and believes in partnering with nature rather than trying to control it. His orchard is herbicide and pesticide free and the soil quality on his property is second to none...the result, amazing cherries @ Hall Family Orchards See more

10.01.2022 Many of our customers often ask what else we grow or farm on our mixed farming enterprise other than Below are pictures of Chris social distancing within his John Deere office. The disc airseeder on the back of the tractor is perfect within orchards to plant cover crops or on broad acre farms such as below to acheive minimal disturbance to the soil in order to preserve moisture and reduce the impact on microbes.... The picture below is a grazing wheat crop near Cootamundra NSW sown 3 weeks ago during dry times. Fingers crossed it gets the forecast for tommorrow. Chris is also busy contract sowing pasture, barley, oats, wheat, canola and mixed species cover crops around the South West Slopes of NSW.

08.01.2022 Multi species cover crops add plant & microbe diversity within our orchard and amazing flowering plants to attract beneficial insects The crop was sown after our cherry harvest in Jan 20 by directly drilling into our fescue & clover pastures between every row. The cover crop consists of sunflowers sorghum, millet, tillage radish, cowpeas, lablab beans & cereral rye... We will now mow it back under the trees to provide a thick mulch layer. #hallfamilyorchards #covercrops #regenerativeagriculture #wombatnsw #nswfarmeroftheyear #regenag #cbrregion #nswcherrygrowers #cherrygrowersaustralia #premiumcherries #soilhealth #carbonfarming #hilltopsregion

07.01.2022 70th NATIONAL CHERRY FESTIVAL Its that time of the year and this years National Cherry Festival - Young will be the biggest and best ever! This week has ...been jam packed with all things cherry as we enjoy the best that this wonderful region has to offer visitors and locals. Ive spent time catching up with the team at family owned Ballinaclash Wines & Fruit, making cherry pies and picking our own from the orchards. At Hall Family Orchards owner Chris Hall gave me the guided tour of their incredible operations and it was impossible not to be impressed with their relentless pursuit of excellence in growing, packaging and customer service - both domestic and international. No wonder they are a finalist in the NSW Farmers Farmer of the Year Competition (fingers crossed ). Today I took the DP to Eastlake's Family Tree orchards for a pick session, tour of the packing sheds where export production is in full swing, and we caught up with owner Tom Eastlake . It was great fun consuming our own body weight in cherries . And this evening I was called upon to officially open the Annual Festival, welcoming thousands to our region. Festival Committee Chair, Caitlin Sheehan and her small team have done an amazing job and can be very proud! The five Cherry King and Queen entrants this year have raised many thousands of dollars for charity. Well done David Munnerley, Laura Ower, Tasmin Coulter, Kate Cruickshank and Brianah Griffin for getting behind the event Its little wonder we are the Cherry Capital of Australia! Its a title the cherry growing community has worked hard for and one which can take great pride in. People may remember that earlier this year I announced $20,000 tourism funding to help the organisers publicise the event. Its been worth the investment and Im proud to have played a small role in the success of the 70th National Cherry Festival! Sx

07.01.2022 The good old fashioned radish shake in these times of social distancing! We had @hayden_quinn and the amazing crew from @boomtownpictures drop by and talk all things and soil health with Chris for an episode of @tasteofaustraliahq Chris showed the team around the orchard and they found thousands of these tillage radish planted in the covercrop in every row of the orchard ... #hallfamilyorchards #nswfarmeroftheyear #regenerativeagriculture #wombatnsw #covercrops #soilhealth #carbonfarming #cherrygrowersaustralia #haydenquinn
