Where the Outback meets the Tropics

2022/03/26

On a remote farm about 320 kilometres outside Darwin, mangoes grow by the truckload. But the owner of Foxalicious Fruit decided to try something new – adding asparagus into the mix. It turns out, the unique climate poses unexpected challenges like the need to pick the vegetable up to three times a day because it grows so quickly. Mangoes and asparagus are an unlikely combination but a source of great passion for my guest, Andrew Dalglish. Today, we discuss: Andrew’s favourite place on his farm in

The Mysterious World of Mushrooms

Australian Farmers: Telling Our Story ·

2022/03/19

Today we are on the road to Monbulk in the Yarra Valley in Victoria. That’s where you’ll find Australia’s largest range of exotic and gourmet mushrooms. Mushrooms for food and mushrooms for medicine. If this food hasn’t been for you in the past – these may go down a little differently. Some taste like macadamia nuts - others taste like lobster. And they come in all shapes and sizes – resembling coral and even lettuce. There is so much more to mushrooms than most of us realise. The founder and chief

It’s not often you see a queue down the street that leads to a butcher shop but it was that very sight at a store in Canberra that grabbed Vince Heffernan’s attention. That shop sold biodynamic meat and the 6th generation farmer had to know more. He armed himself with a degree in Ecological Agriculture and set out to learn how to manage the entire landscape without chemicals. The result is Moorlands Biodynamic Lamb based in Dalton in the Southern Tablelands of NSW. Today we discuss: Vince’s

World's Your Oyster

Australian Farmers: Telling Our Story ·

2022/03/05

There are land farmers and there are water farmers but few can say their office is in a National Park. You’ll find today’s guest growing oysters on pristine Nelson Lake on the Far South Coast of NSW. Their specialty is the world-famous Sydney Rock Oyster. This little superfood has earned the family-run business more than 180 awards and recognition from some of our top chefs. But my guest Gary Rodely explains, the oyster is often quite misunderstood. Gary’s favourite place on his Oyster Farm in

Today we are on the road to Marrickville in Sydney’s Inner West. While that doesn’t sound very rural – my guest spends a lot of time on farms. As the owner of Feather and Bone, a butchery of ethically sourced meats, she personally visits all her suppliers ensuring a short, traceable and transparent supply chain. Laura Dalrymple knows how these animals are raised and how they are slaughtered. It’s not an easy conversation to have but Laura is passionate about ensuring her customers know the truth

Future Farming

Victoria’s beautiful South Gippsland region is synonymous with dairy, so when Adam Schreurs moved his vegetable farm to the area, it raised a few eyebrows. But if there’s one thing Adam loves doing - it’s planning for the future. The move has been crucial in mitigating climate change. He’s also in the process of converting 25% of his property to native bushland to sequester carbon. In addition, he holds regular robotic field days on site to help uncover which robots will make his job easier in the

Today we are on the road to Woombye on Queensland’s glorious Sunshine Coast. Our farmer of the week knows what it’s like to work hard, lose it all - and then go on to come back even stronger. Five years ago, the family’s fresh produce shop was destroyed in an arson attack but the setback ended up being a reset with Mick Dan and his partner Kelly deciding to found Good Harvest Organic Farm. A green change that paid off - having just been declared Australian Organic Farmer of the Year. Farmer Mick

A Cotton Graveyard

Have you ever been roped into the fast fashion frenzy of buying a new piece of clothing on a weekly or monthly basis, only for it to end up in landfill a short time later? There is a world-first movement on the Queensland/New South Wales border to tackle that very issue. On a farm near Goondiwindi, you’ll find a cotton graveyard where customers are welcome to return unwanted clothes to be shredded and deposited back into the soil.

Did you know only 25% of Australians believe farmers are adapting to climate change? Today’s guest has proven we are in fact world leaders when it comes to adapting to climate pressures. Stuart Austin of Wilmot Cattle Co in the NSW Northern Tablelands has pioneered a deal to sell around $500 000 worth of soil carbon credits to Microsoft. It’s the first sale of its kind in this country. The farm captures more carbon than it releases. Now he wants to share the knowledge he’s learnt along the way to

There are very few young shearers and even fewer female ones. That’s why the delightfully named Joanna Treasure is a rare gem. She shares how she made it into the coveted 200 club (shearing 200 sheep in one day) and how working in the hustle and bustle of the shearing shed can earn you the big bucks. Today we speak with Joanna Treasure and discuss: Her office being a busy working shearing shed. Her determination to become a shearer as people kept telling her not to. Falling in love with

This story starts with a father and son, a bottle of red wine and a hilltop.

It’s an Air BnB project David Ferguson credits with drought and flood proofing his family farm, giving them a stable income all year round.

It’s almost Christmas time and for most of us, that means a nice cold bowl full of cherries. But have you ever complained about how much they cost? Well, our farmer of the week is cherry royalty in NSW and has a lot to say about that. So how do cherries get from the orchard to international clients in just 48 hours? Did you know they are picked and safely stored inside within 20 minutes? It’s a fascinating process to bring us the tiny superfruit we all love. Today we speak with Fiona Hall from
