Description

Southern Harvest is super delighted to be able to offer you the opportunity to Visit Four Amazing Farms in One Day!!

Tobellie Hill, Branch & Burrow, Prana Produce and Hazelwood Farm.

• Kick off will be bright and early for a morning tea in the forest at Tobellie Hill. “We’re excited to welcome you to our beautiful home Tobellie Hill, on Ngarigo country in the forests of Tallaganda. Situated on 100acres we grow cool climate vegetables and fruits using simple, straight forwards methods of farming. Join us for a morning in the forest to talk all things veggies, farming, community and keeping life Simple, Real and Delicious. Meet the family and tour our small scale market garden, juvenile fruit orchards and Mushroom producing pine forest. Learn about our farming systems and hear about our plans for 2023 and beyond. Share in some morning tea and a chat about anything and everything to do with off grid living, growing and producing food and the importance of strong community. Slow down, take it all in and enjoy a morning in our forest”.
• Then Join Trent, Suz and their kids for a casual walk around their small farm Branch & Burrow and a scenic picnic lunch. Meet their chickens and sheep out on pasture, and see for yourself how they grow delicious and nutritious food for the local community. After a tour and a chance to pat the goats, cow and ponies, stay for a picnic lunch and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. There will be hot food, grown and made on the farm, available for purchase, or you can bring your own, and don’t forget your picnic rug!
• A pleasant afternoon will then continue at Prana Produce. “Join us to explore our half acre market garden where you were learn all things planting, cultivation, and harvesting using organic principles and low till practices. See the greenhouses that produce vegetables year round, learn about fertile soil and our production system that can be used in a small backyard or large scale.” A wholesome and nutritious afternoon tea, filled with Prana, will be provided.
• Lastly enjoy the sunset at Hazelwood Farm. “We moved to Braidwood in 2004 and planted the hazelnuts even before we had built our home. The farm was basically just one very big bare paddock. The hazelnuts took longer to establish than expected so we re-focused our energy on a market gardening and establishing perennial crops such as rhubarb and asparagus and also establishing berry, apple and feijoa orchards. Almost 20 years later we are in a transition phase away from the market garden as the perennials and orchards are increasing in production and require higher maintenance. We have also planted 10,000 trees and counting and are in this for the long and rewarding haul. We believe in leaving the farm in a better condition that when we bought it as we are merely custodians of this land for a very short time”.
