News Monday 29 December, 2008 FRESH BERRIES NOW AVAILABLEYes the berry season has begun with Raspberries, Loganberries and Silvanberries, as well as red, white and blackcurrants. The promotion of Gooseberries in a recent article in Epicure has caused us to sell out already. Thanks to decent rain falls in early December the berries are looking great, along with the help of BD preparation 501. We still have some frozen Silvan and Blackberries, for anyone looking to make jams. We are also selling hand made BD Berry ice cream from our farm shop which is currently open daily 10am to 5pm. If you would like to purchase our products closer to home, we are supplying the following shops: *Fork To Fork Farm Fresh Organic Food *The Food Garden www.foodgarden.com.au does Organic & Biodynamic Food boxes containing our berries when in season. *Red Door Café Trewhella Farm would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year and we look forward to seeing you soon.

The DEMETER Biodynamic method of agriculture is a self-sustaining natural form of farming which does not use chemical or artificial fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides or herbicides providing a cleaner healthier product with enhanced nutritional and sensory qualities. The Biodynamic method achieves this by enhancing the microbes within the soil. With a growing number of links being found between diet and disease it is becoming increasingly important to know what we are eating and what effects it has on our state of health. |

We grow a wide range of berries including raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, loganberries, currants and gooseberries. The berry season begins in December and can last well into May, depending upon conditions. For updates on the upcoming season see our News section. Many of our berries are also made into jams, sauces, vinegars and cordials. We have even been successful in drying our blueberries in our drying unit without the use of chemicals. |

In the belief that it is better to grow plants in their natural environment rather than forcing them to adapt to a ‘hostile’ environment, we have been cultivating many plants native to the area. These include native raspberry, Mountain Pepper, native River Mint and native Round-leaf Mint. |
