The family keep two cows for beef, mowing and manure using a rotational grazing system. They also breed poultry for meat and eggs, so have good infrastructure for geese, Muscovy ducks and chooks, including a barn set up with permanent poultry housing, and a chicken tractor with mobile fencing for out in the paddocks. There are three bee hives for the family’s honey needs.
