22.01.2022 Is anyone (regional Vic only) available during the week for a COVID safe planting festival? Today saw us get 50 mature-ish river sheoaks and melaleuca in and protected from the rabbits. We still have another 240 seedlings to plant at a rescheduled tree planting day. ... Our aim is to reduce the dust the north westerly winds bring into town during our hot summers and provide shade for our pastures and livestock.

22.01.2022 Apparently these are native poppies? Is anyone familiar with these as they are popping (pardon the pun) in the goose run.

11.01.2022 Bit of fun for the day

11.01.2022 We love our geese. Ours aren't aggressive and come back home in the evenings after a day in the paddock. Need to downsize the "gaggle due to a very good hatch rate last season. Great for keeping the lawn tidy and bugs out of the orchard. Very low maintenance although need protection from foxes. If youre interested in keeping some send me a DM.

11.01.2022 If she could jump in the car with me Im sure she would.

10.01.2022 A small team of us lead by a very experienced tree planter Jean, got the remaining 166 trees and shrubs in the ground, watered and protected from the rabbits. Thanks Jean McClymont and Eddie Iob. We did it! now we just need a good spring

06.01.2022 Not only did they escape the rooster run, they're tempting fate by taking over the dogs domain

06.01.2022 Dont be fooled like I was. This is not a baby platypus. Our page friend Kerry has posted real ones in the comments for you to brighten your day. Thanks Kerry

05.01.2022 Farm fresh goose eggs. Equivalent to 3 chook eggs. Delicious for eating or try your hand at hatching some. Not able to post at the moment.

04.01.2022 Ponies pedicured today .

04.01.2022 Just another spring day on the farm. Goslings hatching. Bantam eggs arriving by post to be hatched in the incubator and Craig pruning the succulents in the barrow !

30.12.2021 Holiday To Do Task STOP THROWING AWAY YOUR EGGS SHELLS! Bake for 10 minutes in a preheated 100 degree oven, then whiz in food processor or crush into fine... particles. Can feed back to your chooks as an easily digestible form of calcium or use in a hole before planting tomatoes to reduce blossom end rot. See more
