A bit about us... Bryce & Nat Woods. We both grew up on our family farms, as generations of our families have before us, and feel instinctively, a real sensitivity for the land and its needs. It's in our blood, like it is in our kids' blood. When we started farming ourselves though, we saw a new way of doing things on the land and believe in the good bits that come with growing our crops organically. We use our understanding of ecology and soil science to know our soil and judge when to use crop rotations to ensure fertility as well as keeping the weeds & pest insects at bay. We love the scientific aspect of organic farming & the opportunity it gives us to explore alternative natural remedies to common farming problems.
Drop in for a metaphorical 'cup of tea' sometime & we'll share
more with you about us and our latest crops & how they are growing...
All through the growing season we watch and take notes and pictures of our little wheat shoots on their journey. We take notes on where weeds are appearing, and where the crop looks healthiest. We use this information to make decisions on how to best help our soil build the energy it needs to maintain its wellbeing. All of this is recorded and inspected by Australian Certified Organic, because, like us, they want to make sure the land is being looked after. They keep a good eye on us, so we can keep a good eye on getting you the certified organic product you deserve.
Did you know?
Certified organic farming systems prohibit the use of artificial chemicals, pesticides, fertilisers and anything genetically modified (GM). That is our certifiers job, to make sure we are adhering to those standards and more. They do a great job...

I think most people would like to limit their intake of synthetic chemical nasties, the benefits of doing so to human health are proven time and again. So it is important to know where your food comes from and how it has been grown. Most foods you buy aren't traceable back to the paddock they came from. So, if that is the case, how do you know who has grown them? How they have been grown? How do you know the farmers are looking after the soil, so your foods have the right nutritional value? How do you know what chemicals they have soaked your food plants in? There are some scary statistics out there, but I'm not here to scare you. I just want to tell you how we do things, on our farm and in our mill.
