Autumn Activities

Autumn was a busy time on the farm.

The rams and ewes were joined in March in preparation for lambing in late August and early September.

The shearing of the Markdale flock took place over the first two weeks in May.

In early June the entire flock was dipped for lice (a common problem in sheep that can eventuate if a pesky goat or two vaults a fence).

Fence work continues on the property – with close to 100km of fence on the property and it is a big (and constant) job to maintain.

Wood (plenty of it) has been chopped in anticipation of fires in winter (with plenty of marshmallows and red wine).

School holiday bookings are starting to come through for our comfortable accommodation at the Farm Stay.

We are taking bookings for Christmas in July with a special catered menu available.

Winter veggies have been planted into the family garden beds – broccoli, leek, cauliflower, onions, garlic, peas, beans and radishes
