Comfortable Farming at Moffitts Farm

Join us for a guided walk at Moffitts Farm to see first hand how planting native trees and increasing biodiversity can improve farm productivity, animal wellbeing, and the environment. Julie and her father Patrick will share their experience transforming the property from low productivity pasture into a thriving, carbon-positive farm with rich wildlife habitat and low-stress livestock systems.

Explore wildlife corridors, agroforestry blocks, and innovative fencing; learn about long rotation grazing, soil health, and low-cost, practical approaches to land management. See how “Comfortable Farming” creates a balance that works for farmers, livestock, wildlife, and the broader community.

Learn about revegetation techniques through a planting activity - demonstrating planting tubestock by hand, as well as direct seeding with machinery. The Moffitts Farm biolink that is being planted on the day will connect with other tree corridors to the creek riparian zone and to agroforesty blocks. We will discuss planning tree planting on farms for wildlife habitat; landscape amenity; and shade and wind protection for livestock. Including practical hints on locating your corridors, and setting them up for longer term success.

A light lunch and refreshments will be provided. Find out more here
