Goals, Values, Vision

We may be an odd applicant with little farming experience but we are keep to learn and have a background with transferable skills. 

Throughout our life we have designed and created festivals and events, working in the outdoors with heavy machinery in all weathers. We have keen interest in where food comes from and peoples right to locally source organic vegetables and meat. 

We are looking to come into farming and marry our practical construction and fabrication skills with our passion for good food for everyone. We believe that we can use the skills we had to create large festival activations and leverage them to create a local farm that has a brand and place in the community for years to come. A place where locals come to shop for there produce over big chains and that has a connection with the community around use. 

While our farming experience is limited we have experience in heavy machinery and understand the long hours and hard work it takes to run a farm. In our past lives we have always had time sensitive work and know that if a job needs to be done it needs to be done. 

We are looking for a partnership to help us get started, learn the basics and hopefully carry on the mantel for someone looking to transition out of a farm but wants to see there legacy continue. 

We currently live in a 300 acre old polo club / farm to maintain the property and secure it from swatters.
