The farm
Conveniently located just 17 km south of Hobart, we can efficiently supply Hobart outlets. We are on the way to Huonville via Huon Rd and 100m from Longley International Hotel. Nestled on river flats beside Mt Wellington National Park, our produce, grown using organic methods, is pesticide and chemical free. We use Microfarming techniques involving constant crop cultivation and rotation
without the use of any heavy machinery. This ensures healthy bio-active soils resulting in higher disease resistance and more nutrient dense food crops. Food production occurs over 4 ½ acres, the remaining 7 acres comprises native forest, heathland and river flats. We have successfully implemented major w**d removal and regeneration programs on our property, which is a haven for wildlife, birds and insects. Our logo is based on the characteristic leaf of the Guitar plant, a Tasmanian native plant growing on our property. The farmers
Longley Organic Farm is a small family business. Operating for 10 years it is owned and managed by myself Hermione and my partner James together with our two children. Our favourite dish is to harvest a little of many different fresh greens, herbs and other seasonal produce from the garden, chop them up fine and throw them into an omelette with fresh local free range eggs.
