25.01.2022 Sunday afternoon stroll through the orchard delivering the goods! Strawberry guava, loquat and oranges #orchard #organic #smallscalefarming #coffscoast

25.01.2022 A walk through of our latest garden plot, its filling up fast and looking great!! Thanks to everyone for all the support!

25.01.2022 Things have been changing on the farm as we respond to COVID-19. Our priority is the safety of our customers and of ourselves. Weve now moved to thoroughly sterilising every box that contains customer orders.... Weve started covering our mouths and noses when we harvest and pack. We rigorously and regularly are washing our hands. Our aim is to do everything in our power to keep the community and us safe and well. We understand how important now, more than ever, access to wholesome, clean food is! We will keep our customers updated if/when there are any further restrictions put in place that impact our ability to supply fresh food. We were part of a forum last night hosted by Open food network (the platform we sell our produce on) of growers, market stall holders and food hubs. It was so great to hear what other countries and fellow aussies are doing on their farms/ food hubs, and if you care about your health, do yourselves a favour and support a local grower or local food hub. These were people last night who were thinking first and foremost about how they could ensure people who need their clean, fresh food, will still be able to access it given restrictions that are likely to be announced shortly. These were not multi nationals concerned with capitalising on vulnerable, fear filled citizens at a time like this. And finally, make sure you are taking time out to care for yourselves including talking to someone about something other than the corona virus!, meditating, breathing, enjoying a hobby, going to bed early. #localfarm #organic #foodismedicine #coffscoast #smallfarm

19.01.2022 Sweet surprises found in the garden Over time we cut the tops off pineapples and plant them out in and around the garden. Patience pays off...This little guy was planted 2 years ago and when we tasted it, it was the juiciest, most golden burst of flavour, (devoured in seconds!). #pineapple #smallfarm #coffscoast #simpleisbest

17.01.2022 Happy Sunday folks. Heres a short update of whats been happening on the farm over the past week https://www.newlifefarm.com.au//around-the-farm-29-septemb

17.01.2022 We’re feeling a little tired and overwhelmed (and with wrinkly hands and feet!) from the weather over the last 4 days. We’ve been too busy to take many pics but here’s a small snippet from the farm. These were this morning before the rain really got going again. The damn is full! But sadly we’ve got too much water lying around the garden, and with more rain on the way we’re feeling a little nervous... We are keeping our fingers crossed that we get a bit of a reprieve to allow... the water to subside and to give our plants a bit of a breather. Whilst it can be frustrating to see it like this it’s an opportunity to learn and better understand this landscape so that we can always improve into the future. We have such a short window to observe how the landscape reacts in these sort of weather events so for that we’re grateful to witness it so we can build resilience into our farm and our food system. Thank you to those wonderful folks who continue to support us - and Helen and Paul ( Daz’s Mum and dad) who worked with us all day today in the rain and who help out always and are immensely supportive #farm #organic #marketgarden #rain #smallfarm #localfood #knowyourfarmer

17.01.2022 We were busy bees on the farm yesterday with help from the raddest volunteers smashing out planting and mulching fruit trees in the orchard using our newly renovated forage harvester (vid to come, it’s a game changer!). Tennille and Lachy planted out beds in both garden patches with us and Heidi was helping bee keeper Michael extract honey from the hives on the farm. And of course all of us (including one naughty chook) got a feed of mulberries from the loaded tree. Day well spent!

17.01.2022 Magical morning harvest... #farmlife #harvest #knowyourfarmer ... #organic #coffscoast #eatseasonal See more

17.01.2022 We love to make our own ferments on the farm. It is not only exceptionally good for gut health, its a joy to see produce weve grown with love, not go to waste. Check out this video. Were a bit jealous of old mates jumbo whiz stick!

17.01.2022 How we feel when the basil is back in the garden! #ladyandthetramp #sweetbasil #sogood #organic #warmseasoncrops #smallfarm

09.01.2022 Happy Sunday beautiful people! Weve got a new farm update blog up on our website today covering the week that was on the farm. Check it out

08.01.2022 Were going! Whos coming?

07.01.2022 Our latest farm cart built by Dazza. This dual purpose cart has been designed to be used as a harvest cart and an order/box trolley. This larger size trolley will give us the ability to efficiently move produce from the field through to our wash and pack station, into boxes and then on to our customer pick up area.... Weve repurposed as much material as possible from around the farm - an old steel table frame, some repurposed mesh, and some steel we had in the shed. We just had to buy two trolley wheels ($40 each). #reuse #repurpose #farm #coffscoast

07.01.2022 We’ve resurrected the dehydrator of late dehydrating batches of our bananas and today we added some citrus - the lime trees have producing some stunning fruit and today we found a few oranges in the orchard that had fallen from the tree so threw them in the mix too! Just like the fermenting and pickling that we do, the dehydrator gives us an opportunity to enjoy our produce for much longer, reduce waste (although on a farm produce that isn’t eaten or used is never wasted when... we turn it back to beautiful compost!) and you get to taste the food in a new way too! Bananas when ripe are a delicious snack but we’ve got more than we can eat or sell we dehydrate them, we also freeze them for smoothies, the ones that are a little further along the ripening process are turned into ice cream, and the super ripe sugary ones are turned into our guilt free banana bread! The same produce, enjoyed a number of ways, each equally delicious! Seriously, how awesome is food?! #organic #realfood #homegrown #smallscaleag #farm #newlifefarmau #dehydrator #excalibur #zerofoodwaste #coffscoast #knowyourfarmerbeen

07.01.2022 Need some organically grown goodness in your tummy? Orders are now open for pick up this week with orders closing 6pm the day before you want your produce - Order before 6pm today for collection tomorrow, or order by 6pm on Tuesday for Wednesday pick up, order by 6pm Wednesday for Thursday pick up.) Click through link to order... https://openfoodnetwork.org.au/new-life-farm/shop#/shop #localfarm #shoplocal #organic #knowyourfarmer

07.01.2022 Garlic harvest We smashed it out in no time this year with our new racking system (yay for Facebook marketplace!). It’s all been topped and tailed and is now drying. We smell like a delicious marinade #russiangarlic #garlic #farmlife #coffscoastharvest #organic

06.01.2022 Weve been dealing with the fallout of how dry it has been - this time with critters stealing our seeds from the seed trays in the seed house. 800 starts lost overnight. We are back in the seed house this morning reseeding. Because it has been dry there isnt any seed around outside for mice and other animals to eat. We see it this season with the bats that have raided our berry trees looking for food too...We wont forget to cover our babies tonight! #farmlife #smallfarm #organic #coffscoast

06.01.2022 This is what a weekend breakfast on the farm looks like From the garden - fresh tomato, zucchini, green garlic, spring onion, left over Mexican salad from last night’s dinner (all from the garden too - avo, tomato, cucumber, carrot, coriander, mint, fresh lime juice), lettuce, and eggs from the girls. Side of our kimchi we made a few months back when the wombok was pumping and some fermented buckwheat bread we’ve mastered ... We did throw in a cheeky rasher of nitrate free bacon from the West High Street Butcher (lots of organic and chemical free options!) Knowing exactly where your food comes from and precisely what’s gone into it makes eating such a pleasure! #organic #organicfarm #knowyourfarmer #farmer #marketgarden #coffscoastharvest

06.01.2022 This is going to be a fab evening!

06.01.2022 When the veggies provide comic relief (or is it only us with our minds in the gutter? ) #organic #smallfarm #localfood #crooknecksquash #coffscoast

04.01.2022 Do you know where your food is grown? We grow our a full range of goodies from Asian greens, salad mixes, herbs, radishes, juicing greens, kale, leek, turmeric, arrowroot, celery, and plenty more! Best of all we harvest the day you pick up your produce - cant get any fresher than that. Were looking to feed more locals who are interested in shortening their food chain, connecting with their local grower and boosting their bodies with nutrient dense food. Click on the link t...o order https://openfoodnetwork.org.au/new-life-farm/shop#/shop Orders are open for pick up Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday this week ( each days order cycle will close 6pm the day before scheduled pick up). #organic #freshfood #knowyourfarmer #locallygrown #coffscoast See more
