Wagtail Urban Farm

Can you help us?
Since finishing up at Waggie last year we've been positioning ourselves to start a new market garden. This time we'd like to own the land so Carla and I have both gotten "real jobs" and have been saving like crazy!
If you hear of any good sized blocks coming up for sale, please let us know.
We'd love to live on-site but we don't need a large house and the closer to the southern side of a river or creek, the better.
Ideally, we'd be looking to buy in August this year. Please put your feelers out for us and hopefully we can start growing super fresh and local veggies again!

Have you ever been to the Autumn Garden Festival? It's wall to wall jam packed with Garden goodies, from rare Native's to kitsch decorations. Personally I go for the homemade boutique chocolate and Strawberry waffles... 🤤

Was in the neighbourhood and decided to pop past the ol' Waggie site. Was delighted to see that regardless of the slab covering almost every square metre of the block, some of our Asparagus continues to persist! 😂🤣
