A: More about us really, our attitude is Success in any venture is the only option. For this to happen you need to be flexible, communicate well and be open minded to learn. I have held the position of Australasian Trainer for a large medically registered therapy company for the past 10yrs.

A: We purchased a vacant 32.5 Ha property nearly 2yrs ago in a view to setting up a sustainable, totally off-grid, permaculture based, multi purpose farming lifestyle property we could bring up children on and spend the next 25+yrs of our life. So we traded in the 5star waterfront Gold Coast lifestyle to originally live in a caravan on this beautiful land! Over the past 2yrs we have invested heavily into infrastructure, fencing, road works and building. Ultimately the property is to have the least environmental impact as possible and ideally be impact positive whilst also being income producing. Manuka farming really fits into this plan. We have multiple large spring fed dams which are also fed via the hills behind which channel any catchment into those dams. Currently we can allocate 5 hectares to Manuka Bee farming with an opportunity in the future to expand on our land but also the possibility to purchase some neighbouring land. Our property also currently holds around 20-30 cattle comfortably and around 15 horses whereby some are owned and some agisted. As my wife is a horse trainer and eventing rider coach, and a qualified horse massage therapist we have facilities currently under build to accomodate her business, for example an olympic sized horse arena. No chemicals, glyphosate, poisons etc will be used on our property. Future plans, but not limited to, are: organic fruit orchard and large vegetables patch; a small herd of Dorper Sheep and chickens. We are currently a family of 4, Glenn 44, Crystal 38, Hudson 6 weeks and Zen our 7yr old Labrador. Our planting area is mostly flat with a very slight slope to it and has access to water from the spring fed dams.
