News WWOOFers Welcome! Tuesday, March 9, 2010
We've finished picking blueberries & finishing up a great season on the blacks - after which the Nashi pears will be ready. Now as the berry season is winding down, we need to acknowledge the great support that we have had from CERES this season in taking bulk orders from us and selling onto the locals in Brunswick. For those close by, we recommended that you visit the CERES market on Wednesdays or Saturdays at Lee St., Brunswick, Melbourne, for blueberries and other produce as it becomes available. We have filled up the freezers for those looking for frozen berries. If you would like to purchase our products closer to home, we supply 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

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. |
