Hi I'm Jo Mitchell. My husband and I brought our farm near Hervey Bay 5 years ago hoping to create something spectacular with what was a very rundown 50 acres of land. It has taken us most of the five years we have been there to get the place to where it is now. We are lucky in that we live on the beach with a creek running through our property with fishing and mudcrabs, so not all bad.

Hi all,

I'm getting into handspinning as a hobby and I'm keen to get started as soon as I get set up because to me there's just something about actually creating the yarn with your own two hands that you crochet a scarf out of. Pretty cool actually, like growing your own meat and vegetables :)

What I want to know is whether it's possible to purchase smaller amounts (like 10 - 30kgs) of carded wool roving directly from the producers instead of from a shop or ebay.  Is that a usual thing or is it not a done thing?

Hi 

We're just buying a farm on the Sunshine Coast and I was wondering if anything new the going rate for leasing land out for sugar cane?

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Hi,

I have 160 Acres of land in SA and need some Hobby Farm information.

If we start a hobby farm but only make a small amount of money each year, say $10k does that mean we can't claim any of our expenses such as interest on the loan, insurance etc...? I do not live on the land, we use it as recreation.

If we grow plants and sell them are there any rules or processes we need to abide by? The plants are not edible.

Thanks for your help in advance.
