Permaculture Garden

The permaculture garden at Boonah farm is a project that will take many years. We are inspired by the historical practice of small scale organic farming, permaculture and building community. We are working with a local permaculturalist from Winchelsea named Dim on a succession planting design. We are currently researching, testing and building soil health, starting compost and cover crops, and planning infrastructure. 

​

We have  begun with planting out a foundational orchard, working on the organic vegetable and enchanted herb garden. Eventually we'll move onto wildlife corridors, bush tucker and food forrest with the view of regenerating the paddocks. We are deeply inspired by the holistic use of plants for medicine, food, materials, and supporting local ecology and wildlife.

 

High in the hinterland of the Surf Coast, our farm in Boonah sits at the intersection of forest and sea. ​We are working with the region’s unique high-rainfall to build a 'living' topsoil, rich in the organic matter that only this cool-climate can provide.

We hope our produce carries the vitality and strength of the Otway ranges and our community can come together to cook and nourish one another.​
