Ground Cover

Sustainable and financially viable small acre farming at Paddy Melon Ponds


Listen Later

In this episode, Gavin heads out to Possum Creek, Northern New South Wales, to have a chat with Penny Hall.

Penny was a member of a RAMP cohort a couple years back. She and her husband Bob Lodge are medical specialists who moved from Melbourne to 100 acres on the Northern Rivers.

Penny shares how, together with their farm manager Dave, they brought the holistic small acre farming philosophies of Joel Salatin to their operation.

They now run a decent sized herd of cattle, have done quite a bit of rainforest restoration work and are planning to diversify the farm's offerings even more to ensure its financial viability.

This Ground Cover episode is one in a short series where we hear from participants in the Regenerative Agriculture Mentoring Program. RAMP was developed at Southern Cross University. The project has been assisted by the New South Wales Government through its Environmental Trust. You can learn more about RAMP at https://www.ramp.org.au
