Mabellae Farm in the Southern Highlands is a place of learning, discovery & community.

To book a farm tour or educational day for your friends, colleagues or school group please contact Emma Jane. x

Mabellae Farm is a small-scale demonstration farm and an educational hub where farmers, chefs, students, diners, educators, and artisans come together to push the boundaries of regenerative farming, creating and eating.

We are dedicated to showcasing regenerative farming practices and encouraging people to learn how to grow, cook and eat the healthiest produce available to them.

Our farm sits in the heart of the Southern Highlands on 17 acres of rich basalt soil that rises on a hilltop. It is a place of breathtaking beauty, charm and character and we consider it a privilege to be farming this land, in this place, on the land of the Gundungurra people.

Overwhelmed by the busyness of our previous lifestyle, we decided to move to the beautiful Southern Highlands. Fulfilling our vision to turn our little farm into our haven.

• we have created a riparian corridor surrounding our dams and waterways

• we have enhanced our dams, creating clean, biodiverse ecosystems

• we have fenced our property into smaller paddocks so that we can use cell grazing techniques

• we have regenerated our paddocks, gardens and the old orchard we inherited.

• we have also created our vegetable gardens and orchards on the hilltop using regenerative gardening practices

In doing so we have created a new, more connected way of life for our family. We ask that you come along on this adventure with us as we learn, create, discover and appreciate all that this land has to offer us.

Restoring and maintaining the delicate balance of our soils is our priority. Managing our soil fertility is vital, as soil that is more nutrient-dense produces food that is more nutrient-dense, and that is also why it tastes better, ensuring you get the most nourishing and delicious produce for your family.

We follow regenerative and biodynamic farming principles meaning: All biodynamic farms are organic, but we go a step further, emphasising biodiversity, crop rotation, greenhouse management, animal welfare, and soil fertility management.

We have achieved a lot, but there is still so much to do, learn and teach.
