Event description

Echo Valley Farm invites you to join in the celebration of community, ecology, and regenerative food and farming.

2024 marks 10 years of Echo Valley working with the landscape to feed our community all while ensuring its practices are Good for the animal, Good for the land, Good for the farmer, and Good for you.

We will be celebrating this achievement, as well as engaging with and inspiring those passionate about community, country, and local food. This event promises to be an immersive experience that will leave you with a deepened love for country, an appreciation for regenerative agriculture, community, and a warm full belly.

With a diverse mix of speakers, workshops, and local food, this one day event offers an opportunity for our greater community to engage in learning, sharing, community building, and celebration of agroecology. This is an event that we plan to make an ongoing annual celebration, highlighting the Southern Queensland region, the incredible food produced here, and to shine a spotlight on the beneficial outcomes that regenerative agriculture and agroecology brings to country, community, and the farmers who practice it.

We're very grateful to our sponsors and supporters who are helping us bring this event to life!

Come along to hear some of our great mates (experienced farmers and agronomists) discuss Economy, Ecology, Community and Self in our Sharing Shed. Take yourself on a self guided farm tour, wave hello to the cows and chooks, and check out the awesome works on display in the Art Shed. You might even be inspired to add to the interactive artwork that will take place throughout the day. We're also hosting a number of workshops you can book in for in advance, which are a great opportunity for a select group to dive deeper into different aspects of Echo Valley’s ecological process. From soil health to subtle energy, even a hands-on sausage making workshop, there is a diverse range of experiences for everyone attending. Plus, a unique opportunity to plant a tree into the landscape on the day with guest speaker Tanya from Wallaby Creek! Field Day Workshops are ticketed events, and tickets are sold separately.

Hello! We are Randal & Juanita Breen and we run Echo Valley Farm – a 300 acre property in the Goomburra Valley, South East Queensland.

Since our farming adventure began, we have developed, and continue to develop, a multi species integrated farming system that includes a range of enterprises such as cattle, sheep, poultry, pigs, hay/grain and seasonal small cropping.

Ethical, sustainable, regenerative and holistic farming. What does it mean to us?

When establishing our farming operation at Echo Valley, sound and ethical ecological farming practices took priority. Thinking long on how we could integrate these approaches into our farm systems, we developed the ‘4 Good’ principles.

‘Good for the animal, good for the land, good for the farmer and good for you’.

These 4 values are integral to every industry on farm, with each farming enterprise at Echo Valley having been thoughtfully established to be in harmony and linked to the other on-farm systems, creating a farm that not only applies the 4 goods, but is holistic in its approach.

With a diverse landscape of open grass grazing country, basalt uplands and remnant forested areas, we have found it is possible to create the perfect blend of environments, eliminating the need for chemicals and embracing what we believe is an ethical and regenerative approach to farming.

“We believe in farming that builds on a strong and viable agricultural base, while maintaining and regenerating the local habitats of our diverse flora and fauna. Everything we do on our farm begins with a regenerative and sustainable approach.

— Randal & Juanita Breen

We are committed to a whole farm model to ensure the long-term financial viability of our business, while also regenerating local ecosystems by contributing to long-term soil health through bio diversified agriculture practices.

By developing our farm in a way that is not only viable but also promotes the ethical treatment of animals and the land, we believe we can contribute to leaving the Earth in a better place for our kids and future generations.

This is why we at Echo Valley Farm stand for ethical, sustainable, regenerative and holistic farming.
