Apple picking in the old orchard.
Mabellae Farm in the Southern Highlands is a place of regeneration and connection.
We are dedicated to showcasing our regenerative farming practices and encouraging people to learn how to grow, cook and eat the healthiest produce available. We are committed to making the healthiest, most delicious and nutrient-dense food for you and your family.
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.
We want you to feel safe in the knowledge that our produce is the healthiest choice you can make for you and your family.
