Activities of the Month

Maybe some people think farming life is as easy as a ride on a bicycle or a pleasurable as a beach-walk on a sunny day. Sure, there are satisfying and enjoyable moments. However, most times our work is demanding, physically exhausting and seemingly endless.

Produce that we grow

We are growing an ever increasing range of produce. Our emphasis is on exceptional quality and not so much on quantity. Some of our produce is sold at organic farmer’s markets.

Animals

Apart from our own cows there are many wild creatures living on Aracaria. They include wallabies, echidnas, parrots, many different snakes, lizards, a large variety of birds, rats, mice, bandicoots and an infinite variety of small insects. We have planted many hedges that provide habitat and shelter for small birds such as finches and wagtails. During the first 5 years we have noticed a marked increase in animal life on this land.

Woofers

'Willing Workers On Organic Farms' (wwoof-ers) are welcome on Aracaria. We have had such helpers from many countries including Japan, Canada, Germany, England, France and of course Australia. We prefer those who are interested in agriculture and want to learn about biodynamics. The accommodation is pleasant and simple. Woofers need to be signed up members of the WOOF organization.
