From our archives. @cjhobgood_ visited our farm during the Margaret River Pro 2016.
Good luck to all the competitors tomorrow. Great effort making the most of small waves. Hope the forecast for great conditions and swell is spot on.

As we enjoy the last of our tomatoes it’s time to think about saving seed for next year.

Only choose from healthy plants. Leave in your fruit bowl for a week until very ripe and soft.
Cut open and squeeze the flesh and seeds out into a glass. I add a little water. Leave for 24 hours to ferment. This step removes the germination inhibiting gel on seed and kills seed-borne diseases.
Wash in a sieve.
Spread on paper towel to dry. Doesn’t matter if bits of flesh too.
When you plant next year just cut the paper towel up.
Use this method for cucumber too.
Happy seed saving.

If you know us well or follow us you will know we are obsessed with geese. They are our organic farm workers. Eating grass and fertilising our vineyards and orchards. A perfectly integrated permaculture system. The most important practice we have to control kikuyu grass on our certified biodynamic farm.
We have a respectful and fun arrangement. We keep the flock safe from foxes with fencing. We provide soaks for swimming, rotate grazing areas and a bucket of wheat a day. They are always so pleased to see us.

Thanks to all our guests who have stayed over summer.
Take advantage of the mild still weather to enjoy an autumn break. It’s a good time to enjoy sunset baths, farm walks and bbq dinners. No rain in sight, unfortunately.
We are closing for a few weeks in May to do some maintenance. Winter dates are starting to book up. Book online. Link in bio.

By January we stop picking capers (you would too) and let all the capers buds grow into flowers.
The bees get food and we get beauty in our summer garden.
An amazingly resilient Mediterranean plant that we do not water in summer.
The taste of our sea salt cured capers is next level deliciousness.
If you would like to try.
Online link in bio or farm direct in our private cellar by appointment.

We’ve got the cabin just need the rain and cold now.
Great to be involved with the awesome local event crew @cabinfever_au
Every year we change our event so it’s different and fun, but always about the essence of what Margaret River is. Showcasing our Biodynamic wine and farm grown produce. Authentic connections to our farm, community and guests.

Keep the date Saturday 20 July.

One year ago. It’s so interesting to look back at farm photos. Compare the years and see what’s working.

We planted this vineyard in 2001.
Just the two of us with a young family, sons Max & Ned, playing in the dirt. Dan was still in a pram.

The new plantings of Vermentino vines are still alive due to Jamie’s perseverance, watering by hand over summer.

Geese have eliminated kikuyu in some parts of the vineyard but this
is ongoing.
Biodynamic compost tea (500) applied over the last 18 years has built structure in our soil.

Vineyard goals - to get geese out in time to get green cover over soil,
to apply farm made compost to old vines. To nurture our new vineyards of Sciacarello, Malbec and Chardonnay. Hopefully first vintage of new varieties in 2026.

Great to have our youngest son and Dan @danzymccall
getting involved.

Bana grass or Elephant grass is a favourite Permac

Bana grass or Elephant grass is a favourite Permaculture - Permanent Agriculture, fodder plant on our farm. Native to Uganda.
It’s still warm and dry on our farm but the Bana grass thrives and provides a wind break in our market garden, and a welcome feed for our cows and pigs. It’s full of nutrients and up to 14% protein.
Grows well in our climate and thrives with extra watering. Very fast growing, if watered. Up to a metre in 6 weeks after cutting down. Propagate from stems in Spring.
Children staying in our accommodation love hand feeding the cows with a piece of Bana.

Once cooled completely the biscuits set quite hard.
Amazing dipped into espresso. Enjoy!

26 years of effort building soil pays off with the incredible produce coming out of the market garden this summer.
Amazing effort Jamie. I’m so grateful for everything you do for our family and on our farm, to help us achieve our dreams.
Three favourite things you have designed and built are; the worm farm, reticulation in the market garden and the new tomato netting trellis.
How did we do it before?
