Hi all.

My wife and I are 31 and 33 respectively.  We are both working full time. We have recently purchased our second house after renovating our first one over a period of 3 years and making a profit of 45k.  Our new house is near new and we are doing a lot of work on the landscaping.  We are both from New Zealand and enjoy animals and gardening and a very keen on sustainable living.  

Hi Everyone, 

I am new to the forum and looking forward to exchanging advice and information on small farming.

No action yet, just thinking of buying a small lot (1-2 hec.) near melbourne to grow lavender.

I know nothing about farming or planting.

I havent looked around the web site yet but looks like theres lots of infomation. Looking forward to participating on this site. Thought I'd introduce myself first. I currently live in victoria and have 6 hens, small veggie patch and greenhouse on a small house block. We have just bought 27 acres in tasmania and looking forward to expand to a hobby farm.

Hi All,

Hi everyone, my goal over the next ten years is to save enough and learn enough to be able to run a farming operation that'll provide enough $$$ and enough satisfaction during my retirement. I'm looking at maybe in 10 years time. 

Hi, we are Shelanda and Barbara and we are about to start a cattle farm for our first time. People might think we are crazy but we are very serious about it and very excited. We are moving onto 800 acres and we want to put cattle on it.  At first we were thinking about buying a few calves and learning a little from that... we have done lots of reading but would love to hear from people with any ideas or any information that could help us along the way.

Hello from the Whitsundays. Thinking about free range pigs.

Hi all,  I've just found this forum and I'm hoping it can be of use.  As the owner of a bunch of chooks and (almost) 2 Dexters I need some info that is tailored to the teeny tiny end of the farm scale.   :)

Hi everyone

ive just joined your warm and cheery online community as someone interested in starting a permaculture hobby farm in WA.

Aside from a suburban backyard vege patch and having read the WA govt booklet on small rural agricultural landholdings, I have little to no experience.
