These Kangas think we have put up the exclusion fence just for them to be in peace from our sheep and cows! Our Native Grasses project will have to go back to the drawing board!

We are selling out regularly on Market Day so it does pay to text us on the Saturday prior to ensure you get the cut you want! And May Market was celebrating 2 years at Talbot Market and it was the best day yet!

Need a specific cut of paddock-to-plate lamb for your hearty winter cooking?

Call Barbara from Beckworth Retreat on 0417 771 998 to put in your order before market day.

Pre-ordering your meat lets you secure the cuts you want while supporting a local farm and avoiding sell-outs on market day.

Lambing is going well despite all the hand feeding…..even some triplets and lots of twins.

Thank you Hepburn Shire. We have been waiting for years for this sign and hopefully all that use Kierces Rd will obey the 60kph to keep it in working order.
Now to work on Google and stop all those going North from Ballarat to chose the Fastest Route as Fentons/Glendaruel/Kierces Road! Might need a sign at either end saying “Google is wrong!”
