From Sky to Soil

Carl, an international airline pilot with over 30 years’ experience above the clouds, always dreamed of a life grounded in nature. He envisioned owning a farm - a vibrant patchwork of multi-species pastures, framed by breathtaking scenery and sustained by life-giving water sources. He wanted to raise animals with care, where he could trace their stories from birth to harvest, and nourish the community with chemical-free, nutrient-dense food. He dreamed of sharing this vision, inspiring others who cared through farm tours and on-farm education.

Wellness Meets the Wild

Caron, a naturopath and homeopath, was less convinced. A city girl at heart, the idea of trading urban life for rural grit didn’t spark joy… until we found our piece of paradise here in Crohamhurst (visit the farm, and on your first glimpse of our rolling paddocks surrounded by forest, you’ll understand)

With the land secured, we built the humble tin shed and dove headfirst into our dream - fuelled by passion, not experience. 

And Caron soon found her groove - her background and future dovetailing with plans for on-farm wellness events, nourishing recipes and the opportunity to share her knowledge with other farmers in order to support their livestock’s health and wellbeing.

Growing More Than Food

Starting with just 30 laying hens, we quickly scaled to 600 within a year - finding the community couldn’t get enough of our rich, pasture-raised eggs.

Meanwhile, our small Nguni herd grew from 5 to 40 head of cattle, currently thriving on carefully curated pastures. We then welcomed pigs to the farm, whose natural rooting cleared unwanted weeds and by reseeding diverse, multi-species grasses, legumes etc. This now defines the landscape of what became Tin Shed Farm.

Living off the land, we pour our hearts into every sunrise and sunset, working tirelessly to steward the soil and animals. Through honest hard work and relentless perseverance, we’ve built more than a farm - we’re creating a legacy of health, sustainability, and connection. Join us on this journey, where every egg, every cut of meat, and every tour tells the story of a dream taking root.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes! Our beef is 100% grass-fed and finished. No chemicals, dips, sprays, vaccinations, or additives—just a diverse diet and free-choice minerals like salt, kelp, copper sulphate, bicarb, sulphur, along with many others depending on the season.

  • After a lot of investigation, we found organic feed can still contain up to 25% non-organic inputs. Between this, the higher price of organic feed and wanting to remain accessible to our community, we chose a sustainable, soy-free grain blend tailored to our hens’ needs instead (while letting them peck and scratch up lots of additional nutrients as they forage the pasture!)

  • Yes, our pigs live in large paddocks of movable electric fencing, so we can regularly give them access to fresh pasture. They have shelter from the sun and are exposed to nature so they can live their true nature snuffling through roots and leaf litter, turning over soil. In doing so, they clear unwanted weeds and spread a diverse mix of healthy grasses and legumes!

  • We love having visitors but please note that as we’re a working farm with lots of animals about, we can’t accommodate unexpected guests. Picking up your order from the farm can be arranged by appointment, otherwise we’d love to have you at our next event or tour (see Events page for more!). On-farm accommodation is coming soon.
