Our History
After waking up in the city one Sunday morning, searching for an alternative to working long hours, eating out and going to the movies, we found ourselves taking a scenic drive toward the Daylesford Macedon area, to the sleepy township of Trentham.
The area is known for its ‘cool’ winters, rustic old buildings, and warm welcoming community. Being a farmer’s son, and having grown up with tractors and cows, the ‘call of the wild soon rekindled in Bruce’s heart, and even managed to intrigue Rozzy’s ‘city girl’ imagination.
​
Months of searching led us to land with a lake, rolling hills, lush pasture and deep red soil belonging to Bill, a salt of the earth dairy farmer. We fell in love with the look of the soil, and the idea of turning the piece of dairy farm into a paradise of naturally grown, clean food.
Over the last few years, planting trees, repairing fences and building a home have occupied nearly every weekend. What began as a 'weekender' has now become a full-time passion and we find ourselves embarking on the next chapter of our journey — growing beautiful, old-style ‘Sommerlad’ chickens for our customers.

You must try this exceptional Australian produce hero folks. It will change your viewpoint on food”.
