sustainable and caring environmental attitude

Hobby farm and farm stay

Nature has a mind of her own

We’ve moved to the land for the wide open spaces and the large shed we need for our motorsports restoration business. But we also plan to be responsible custodians of our 38 acres and build a small, sustainable way of life using permaculture principles – working with, rather than against nature. Nick and I are sure to make some rookie mistakes, and are looking forward to learning from Charlie and everyone here in this community.

believe your forum will help me in my quest for knowledge

Firstly to pay respect to the traditional owners " The Ngarrindjeri ", as I do not own the land, I am a caretaker of this land for the next generation. I come from a beef and cotton family since 1858 when my great grandfather worked alongside the local indigenous people and made them shareholders in the farming business, not treated them as slaves. He respected their country, educated locals on their significance and drew on their knowledge and expertise to create success. For this, I am proud. Farming is a community effort, always has been and always will. Success is from integration, open mindedness and having a go. Arrogance and production are opposing ideals and the most successful growers of any produce share everything their reap. There are no courses in this country on " Farming for the non farmer ", so here I am learning from Charlie and the posts on here, and we will never know it all.

We have recently purchased a property with the view to establish a hobby farm. This has been a life long dream that has only recently been made achievable. We are novices and don't know anything so thought we would approach the experts. We have 19 acers, 7 electric ribbon fenced paddocks, bore water to each paddock & water trough and 4 shelter huts. We are wanting advice on whether to embark on agisting horses? I am currently doing an animal husbandry course, but any advice would be appreciated.
