Description
Millpost Permaculture Farm Tour
Join David Watson for a guided tour of Millpost Farm, one of the longest continually worked broad-scale permaculture properties, established in 1979.
Visitors will explore the productive vegetable gardens and diverse plantings surrounding the farm’s heritage-listed homestead dating from the 1870s, while learning how decades of permaculture design have shaped the landscape.
The tour includes a visit to the plant nursery, worm farms, compost toilets and a glasshouse built with a cob wall for thermal mass, showcasing practical and innovative approaches to sustainable living.
Over the years, extensive tree planting has transformed the property, with large stands of oaks, poplars and other deciduous trees, along with native shelter belts and wildlife corridors established through tube-stock planting, direct seeding and natural regeneration where stock have been excluded.
Millpost Farm focuses on building landscape resilience, sustainable productivity and improved water retention in the face of climate change and biodiversity loss. The farm’s main enterprise is the production of superfine merino wool, alongside milking cows and free-range chooks.
