We’ve got a few big projects in the pipeline at Raba Urban Farm!
To prepare, our boys Mason, Duke and Jack are taking a little holiday up on Springbrook Mountain while we give their paddocks a bit of a facelift (and a new fence).
While they’re up there grazing, we’ll be working away. Don’t worry though, they’ll be back and ready for some chin scratches real soon.

What a wild start to the year! ⛈️

First and foremost (and a little late), Happy New Year! 🥳 We hope everyone is safe, dry and healthy.

We have had a lot of you reach out to check on the animals. They are all safe! The chickens 🐓 rode out the storms from their perches and the cows 🐄 are having a little vacation. They will be away for a little while so we can make the necessary repairs and clean up their paddocks. They’re pretty fascinated with their new temporary neighbours 🐎

Luckily the gardens withstood the floods as well. We’ll call that a win for the syntropic system!

While we’ve got a bit of work to do to clean up, we’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back to Raba Urban Farm in 2024.
