25.01.2022 We are now using the granny flat as an Air BnB when we don;t have any of our wonderful volunteers. Please share the link and help us to share our ideas and experiences with others. https://www.airbnb.com.au/rooms/47409928

25.01.2022 Virtue Farm will be making more pigeon pea dips in the morning. One will be with sun dried tomato, the other, olives, garlic, lemon and rosemary. $4 for a 200g tub. Please message if you want any. Collection from Booral.

24.01.2022 On Wednesday 13 Jan we are cooking some more of our smallish pumpkins stuffed with pigeon peas and herbs baked whole in our wood fired oven. Depending on the size of the pumpkin they will be $6 to $8 each. Pick up from Booral only and you will need to BYO tray, plate or container to collect. Collecting while they are still hot is definitely the go and they will be available from 4 to 6. We can refrigerate them for you for collection the following day if needed. Please order by sending a PM by 9am on the 13th.

24.01.2022 Our wood fired oven makes the most amazing pizza ever. Best shared with great friends who build their own pizza toppings.

23.01.2022 Building our wood-fired oven Thanks to our great friend - Rob from Wahoo Bricks and Blocks - we are working on completing our wood fired pizza oven. Typically we are looking at second hand materials and building as sustainably as possible which meets our principles. We can't wait to fire this oven up with the endless supply of fallen timber that Virtue Farm has to offer. We are very keen to use our home grown produce that that of other locals like Tan's amazing goat cheeses. facebook.com/tansacres We are very excited to try pear, rocket, walnut and goat cheese pizza - even better if on our sour dough base.

23.01.2022 LAST CALL for anyone who wants, or wants more of the fresh jaboticaba - I'm turning the rest into preserves tomorrow. Anyone want fresh, organically grown jaboticaba before I turn them into preserves? $15 per kg. You are welcome to come and try some if you like. PM for details and address.

20.01.2022 We have used our solar dehydrator to dry some organically grown herbs. We are now selling: * Lemon myrtle flakes, 10g $4 * Curry leaf, whole, flakes and powder 5g $3 and * Coriander seed, whole and powder, 10g $2.

17.01.2022 Finally it is finished! But we still can't light it because of the rain....

15.01.2022 What's fresh and organically grown this week? Just harvested some sweet potato $3.50/kg, squillions of pumpkins $2/kg and can harvest silver beet, chard and kale by order $3.50 per bunch. Garlic chives, rosemary, tons of mint, kaffir lime leaves, lemon grass and some non traditional greens for salads also available. We have dried herbs from our solar dehydrator and loads of artisan pickles, chutneys and jam. PM for weekend pick up....

12.01.2022 Don't get out much these days but busy weekend with birthday pizza night, thanks John and Heidi, Angelique waves exhibition gathering at art space in Pialba and catchup with the grandkids at Burrum.

11.01.2022 We have just harvested the first of our organic oranges. They are very juicy and on the slightly tart side.... We love them in kale and quinoa salads, juiced and just plain eating. Juicing oranges $2 per kg - they are ugly to look at but full of juice. Ready to eat oranges ar $2.50 per kg. Photo shows the difference. Hard to believe they came off the same tree. Also have kale, dill, fennel fronds, kaffir lime leaves, garlic chives, rainbow chard and large bok choy.

10.01.2022 We have just harvested and packaged 12 to 14, organically grown, kaffir lime leaves into zip-lock bags. Ready to use now or to freeze and use later $2 per bag. We also have an abundance of garlic chives, fennel frond, dill, mint and mother of all herbs.

08.01.2022 How very exciting, the first koala has been spotted on Virtue Farm in our remnant forest section. Thanks to Kelly Dalling Fallon, who was bird watching, and managed to spot it as well as take photos of some of our beautiful bird life!

07.01.2022 Finally, we have some dehydrated organically grown mango - only a small batch this year. 100g for $6.50 or 50g for $3.50. We also have packs of organically grown and solar dehydrated herbs: lemon myrtle flakes and powder, corriander seeds whole or powder, and curry leaves, flakes or powder. PM for orders and collection from Booral.

07.01.2022 Have you got a sweet tooth? Virtue Farm has a limited supply of mango jam, mango syrup, jaboticaba jelly and syrup as well as rosella jam. All products are made using our organically grown produce as the base. PM for details.

06.01.2022 We are going to have a stack of arrowroot for re-planting or eating (if you like it). All free and ready to collect. The leaves make great food for chickens, and the plant grows quite quickly so is a good shade or screening plant. Ours have grown to nearly 1.5 meters in just under 12 months. They seem to be very hardy plants as we only water them when we plant and then they have to fend for themselves. BYO trailer or tarp for the back seat or boot. Pm for address or to come and have a look at them in various stage of growth. The first photo shows plants that were planted in August 2019 in the back ground and April 2020 in the foreground.

06.01.2022 Pumpkins galore only $2 per kg. Also have rosemary, mint, fennel, dill, garlic chives and kaffir lime leaves as well as herbs dried in our solar dehydrator. Lots of preserves too. Everything grown organically. PM for collection details.

05.01.2022 Virtue Farm has just harvested more pumpkins at $2 per kg and some and vine ripened truss cherry tomatoes $8 per kg - PM if you want any. Still have some beautiful herbs dried in our solar dehydrator. Everything organically grown.

PM me by 9 am Saturday 19 Sept if you want me to make a jar for you too. The kale and herbs are all from our farm and are organically grown.
