Planting crew of 2025 🧄🧄🥔🥔

Our annual planting at Natural Bridge began with collecting the best of our previous year’s garlic and breaking down cloves over dinner and a few quiet drinks ready for an early start.

Beds were prepped exposing the dark rich sandy soil with perfect moisture from the recent rains. This year we decided to expand into growing a few varieties of potato’s has been working on over the last few seasons. Rows were marked, holes were dug and planting soon commenced making quick work with so many hands. All the beds were mulched to suppress weeds and keep moisture in the soil. We finished the day off with a farm lunch and a well earned swim in the creek.

This is a favourite time of year with the cool change of autumn finally kicking in and working together with a great group of friends.

Now we wait with the hope of a good season and abundant harvest later in the year!

Our community lunch and fundraiser was a big success! We were able to raise just over $6000 altogether from our ticket sales raffle and auction! None of this would have been possible without the generous donations from our friends!

It’s definitely eggplant weather here and our Orient Express eggies are pumping!

We’re getting back into the swing of things around the farm prepping and planting for the season ahead. Looking forward to some reprieve from this heat though!

Our Elephant Garlic harvest coming just in time before the heavy rain this week at Natural Bridge. It’s been great working with Jono on this crop over the past couple of years. It’s the first time we’ve had to move our previous garlic harvest out to make room! Looking forward to sharing with our customers over the next few months.

We enjoyed another weekend with a great crew completing there Master Composter Course with . The day began with a farm tour then a deep dive into composting with Kris talking about the many composting methods used on the farm. We also had a visit from Brian “The Worm Man” talking all things worms and soldier flies. Such a fun day with enthusiastic people ready to start their own composting journey.

Terra Madre! What a caldron of cultures ideas and inspiration. With all the success of small scale slow food producers at the event there was a serious conversation about the state of our food system as a whole.

The fight to keep local food at the forefront defending the rights and traditions of community’s, local economies and protecting biodiversity on our planet was central to many discussions during the event.

One workshop ‘The future we want: young people share best practice in the lowlands’a quote that stuck with me was ‘biodiversity is the most important heritage we have’

Many of the discussions focussed on the importance of Agroecology a concept that utilises a holistic and integrated approach that applies ecological and social concepts to the design and management of sustainable agriculture and food systems.

The work that is being done from youth to elders, communities to countries, coming together for a future to replenish, restore and regenerate our food systems was an overwhelmingly positive force to witness.

Feeling reenergised for the work we do on our farm and an appreciation for all the people that make it possible. Great to meet the Australian cohort who are all working on a better food system. Again a big thank you for the opportunity.

Excited to share that Kris’s Nourish Compost is now here! He has been working tirelessly on creating the highest quality compost / soil inoculant that works to restore biodiversity to your soil.

If you have ever purchased our veggies you’ll know that soil health is a huge focus for us. Kris has been on the farm creating compost from local sources since 2021. Nourish compost is a big part of our soil health management from inoculation on our seedlings to amending our beds. We like it so much that Kris has to lock the compost bays so we don’t steal it all!

He is offering 10% off for a limited time to friends of the farm using discount code ‘FARM10’ at checkout on his website.

If you want to learn more check out his Instagram or visit www.nourishcompost.com.au (link in bio)

Thanks Kris for all your help around the farm!

Another first for the farm this week is celery!

It’s something we’ve wanted to try out since the beginning. The time from seed to harvest was always a barrier for growing it on the farm. With the new CSA box system it’s allowed for the space and extra time to trail it out. We’re happy with the results so far!

Time to dust off those boots, get out of the city and join us out at the on 31st August

This event is to celebrate the 10 years Juanita and Randall have been farming and to come together and enjoy what they have accomplished.

If you’ve ever purchased eggs from our stall this is the opportunity to see the farm and the amazing work Randall and Juanita put into there farming practices.

There is a heap of talks, sausage making classes, soil workshops and a celebratory bonfire and dinner to finish it off!

These two have been a big part of our farming journey. They not only have supplied us with weekly eggs for our customers but have been big supporters of our farm and the local food movement.

See you there!

Bandicoot bandits raiding the carrot beds 🥕

The good news is we have bandicoots thriving just 10kms from the city. The difficulty is through the dry winter we’ve had they have acquired a taste for our baby carrots.

There’s been many a late night chasing them away, putting up spotlights and netting beds without much success. Hopefully we get a change in weather so they focus on some of their other dietary delights.
