Environmental sustainability is at the heart of how we run our farm. Over the past ten years we have developed a unique model of free range egg production with mobile solar powered sheds, custom designed by us and made in Melbourne.

​They are highly efficient, fully automated and powered entirely by a 3KW off-grid solar system.

​This allows us to move the sheds to fresh pasture so we are constantly enhancing the soil, plant and insect life on our farm. We have a 15KW solar system that powers the rest of the farm.

​Josh was awarded the 2019 Victorian Young Achiever Award for Environmental Sustainability.
