Our Story
Mark and I (Sarah) and our family moved to Tasmania from Northern NSW in 2016 to follow our dream of a beautiful, natural place to raise our family. We’ve started from scratch on our place. 50 acres of bushland alongside the very scenic Franklin Rivulet at Harford, Tasmania (just south of Port Sorell).
‘Farm on Franklin’ ‘pet friendly’ camp-ground (for fully self contained campers onl
y – BYO toilet and shower, collect and remove all your own rubbish) from Mid-spring to Mid-autumn each year. Bookings via https://www.hipcamp.com/en-AU/tasmania/farm-on-franklin-tasmania/farm-on-franklin-tasmania =2&adults=2
We believe in supporting our local community, buying local, seasonal and encouraging farmers to produce food naturally, sustainably and more so regeneratively. We believe farmers should be paid accordingly for their efforts. If farming is not profitable it is not sustainable and if it doesn’t consider the future of our resources, soil, nutrition and animal welfare it won’t be profitable long term. Our future food production and human and planetary health will depend on these things. We believe the food we eat should be of the highest nutrition, quality and chemical free - you get what you pay for and you are what you consume and absorb. To quote a good friend of ours ‘cheap food is not our right – quality food is’. To consume nutritionally dense food will only improve our health, as a result lowering our medical and health expenses throughout our lives. For our own pleasure and our children? We are a work in progress ourselves, on our own journey toward our ideals - my motto – ‘just put more of the good stuff in! – foods, thoughts and actions! We are a Christian family who consider Faith, family, health, fabulous food, fellowship and fun (to use lots of ‘Farm on Franklin F words) paramount to our foundational activities and attitudes. It is with this in mind that we are excited to share our place, produce, products and our journey, with our community and beyond. Please enjoy our products, information, stories, photos, and place should you visit!
