25.01.2022 Good morning from crazy town, 45 baby goats and counting, 15 girls and 30 boys. What?! We fed seaweed pre conception as we’d read it increased the likelihood of girls. I think we have just demonstrated the opposite, gah! #babygoats #goat #babygoatsofinstagram #farmlife

25.01.2022 Baby goat on wrong side of fence rescue, thanks Ivy (see stories.) Check out that relaxed baby goat cuddle. I trust her too, she’s the goat whisperer. #nogoatleftbehind

21.01.2022 It’s a big week on the farm this week. This farm has always had fences for dairy cows, not goats, and we’ve been improvising for years. After hours and hours of work already, Adam has called in the big guns and has a local team working here today, getting it in. Hopefully before any baby goats arrive! For years now Adam has moved that portable feathernet electric fencing every day. Every single day. We saved up for this, and it’s a bit of a game changer. And no one is is more excited to see utes and high viz all over the place than the goats. Stoked. (In other news, farm shop open today online for farm pick up tomorrow.)

21.01.2022 The garden, right this very minute. Which is a nicer photo to look at than the photo of my face I sent my sister last night after getting stung on the head by a rogue aggressive bee and my eyes and forehead swelled up until I look like a completely different person. Awesome. Am now on strong corticosteroids and I’m really hoping to be vaguely recognisable shortly. It’s Friday. I hope yours is terrific. #visitnsw #friendlybees #usually #farmlife #garden

21.01.2022 40 baby goats so far!

19.01.2022 My Dad, who hates the guinea fowl, was stoked that one appeared to be missing. Taken, maybe? Er, apparently sitting on an enormous clutch of eggs somewhere that Adam (who is alone in his devotion to the Guineas) will not reveal to either Dad or I on the off chance of misadventure. #freakingguineafowl #noisiestbirdever #more? #kiddingright #farmfactions Pic by their biggest fan, Adam.

19.01.2022 My man built these gates. Legend. (And now I have a master plan of beautiful gates EVERYWHERE.) #gatelove #farmgate #cleverfellow #andfoxy

19.01.2022 He’s totally fine by the way. No goat was harmed. #muppets

18.01.2022 Small goat on a tree. In other news there’s farm tours running every day through the school holidays except Wednesdays and Thursdays (market days.) Book on our website, we hope to see you at the farm! There’s goats! Please come and join the chaos, it’s pretty, we’re covid safe, our tours are capped at 20, and there’s CHEESE! xx #farmtours #kiama #visitnsw #schoolholidays #gerringong #farm #tour #holidayherethisyear #escapetogerringong

16.01.2022 Rules for early morning farm walks: walk with your mouth shut (flies.) Don’t take the goats (put escapee teenagers back in the hayshed.) Let the chickens out on your way past. Take the puppy. Don’t take the quad bike (we’re walking, we’re walking.) And if you’re trespassing on your neighbours land maybe don’t post a photo of it to social. #hiclaireandcharles #ishutthegates #promise #kiama #gerringong #morningwalk #rightnow

14.01.2022 Our friend Hayden Quinn visited recently with his super lovely Taste of Australia crew and so there's a little bit with us in it on TV this Saturday. Channel 10, 4.30pm. Goats, cheese, pretty paddocks! We had fun, and we ate delicious things. Always a good day. Boomtown Pictures Visit NSW Kiama, New South Wales

13.01.2022 Early morning optimism: a greenhouse full of flower seeds just starting to sprout, that didn’t die in the extreme heat last weekend. Woot! #garden #farmlife #greenhouse #flowers #flower #comingsoon

13.01.2022 Just a farm kid in a row of sunflowers. Hope you have a moment of sunshine in your Tuesday #findhappy #flowers #gerringong #visitnsw

13.01.2022 Sourdough love. This beauty is 60% fresh milled spelt grain which makes it dark and nutty like most of my absolute favourite people. #sourdough #notjustforcovid #breadlove #spelt #sodamnearnest

09.01.2022 Because, Friday. Nearly there! (Spaces left in this Sunday’s farm tour if you don’t have plans.)

09.01.2022 Righto then, so it seems we’re rolling into a chaotic Christmas with cancelled plans and moving boundaries but WE HAVE YOUR BACK and when in doubt there is always custard, AM I RIGHT? (Also kefir which can be mixed with hard spirits, just saying.) Online shop is open until Monday night for Tues farm pick ups, and super covid safe farmers markets in Berry on Tues (3pm-5pm) and Kiama on Wed (2pm -6pm). Let’s do this. (After which we’re sitting down carving spoons and knitting for four days straight.)

08.01.2022 Hi! If you missed it (like us!) and feel like watching, here's the link to Episode 4, taste of Australia: https://10play.com.au/taste-of-australia-with-hayden-quinn

08.01.2022 Late afternoon ducks, living their best life. #farm #farmlife #farmyard #duck #country #lateafternoon

07.01.2022 This is my Grandpa loading milk cans out of our old dairy onto the jalopy to take to the milk co-op. Some things change, some don’t. There’s still a stray chook doing it’s thing at the back there. And a kelpie trying to get into the ute. #oldfarm #familyphotos #farmlife

07.01.2022 Everything about this Spring is lush. More rain rolling in, this taken just this minute as I consider the entire linen cupboard that needs washing due to a disastrous farmhouse roof leak. #goodforthegarden #badforthewashing #illtakeit #fromwhereistand #rightnow

05.01.2022 Great weather for ducks here this week (good for the garden, bad for the washing.) We’ll be at Kiama Farmers market on Wed and Berry Farmers on Thurs rain or shine, bringing all the cheese and other nutritious deliciousness (hello old friend Bone Broth!) Come and say hi, and maybe bring a brolly! Pic by @leantimms #kiamafarmersmarket #berryfarmersmarket #ducksandtrucks #theresahashtagforthat?! #farmlife #gerringong

05.01.2022 Good morning! I hope your Monday doesn’t suck and someone smiles at you today. (Here’s one to tuck away for when you need it.) #goatsmiles #mondaymotivation #areyouok #ruok #friendlyface

04.01.2022 Something beautiful happened today. We sent a call out on our weekly newsletter for help picking the coffee and sixteen people showed up today to harvest with us. We fed them well and thanked them profusely because more than just helping by harvesting kilos and kilos of coffee beans, these beautiful local people reminded us of all the good there is in the world and why community matters more than just about anything. #gerringong #helpinghands #farmlunch #coffeeharvest #community

04.01.2022 On a day that starts with the kettle dying and replying to a customer email with an autocorrected Buena Vista Fark, I’m looking for all the positive signs I can find.

03.01.2022 Smiles all round. The very first kid of the season, born this morning. This year’s naming protocol will be Women We Admire, and this one is Jacinda. Naming suggestions welcome!

03.01.2022 Sea urchins, donuts, an amazing bridge walk, mushrooms and markets and goats! This is as good as it gets! Taste of Australia with Hayden Quinn Join me this Saturday at 4:30pm on Channel 10 Salt Water Harvest The Famous Berry Donut Van Buena Vista Farm

01.01.2022 One hundred years ago I played in a church band with my friend Andrew and he talked about opening a local brewery and I talked about building a cheeseroom and we traded fermenting stories and from tomorrow our goats cheese is now available at his fabulous local brewery and yes 2020 sucks but dreams do come true.

01.01.2022 The pretty market garden gate, while hopping halfway around the farm looking for my other shoe that the puppy stole. #grrr #bindis #farmpuppy #shoethief #breathe
