Blue Marble Farm: Self-sufficient Living and Regenerative Farming
Description
Shannon and Julie Humphris run Blue Marble Farm on Gumbaynggirr Dangadi Country near Macksville on the New South Wales North Coast.
Blue Marble Farm is a great example of self-sufficient living.
Gavin Tinning had a bit of a walk around the farm with Shannon before the record button was pressed and was really impressed by the incorporation of livestock into a small property.
On Blue Marble Farm there are cattle, milking cows, goats, chickens, turkeys and the livestock is used to regenerate the landscape and reduce the fire risk; they produce food and fibre and all sorts of products.
Shannon and Julie regularly hold field days and workshops so you can go and check the farm out for yourself. Just look up Blue Marble Farm on the internet for details.
The Regenerative Agriculture Mentoring Program was developed at Southern Cross University. The project has been assisted by the NSW Government through its Environmental Trust. Visit https://ramp.org.au
