  • Spring Farm Visit - Saturday, November 15th 2008, 10 am
    Leigh Davison
    
    The next TROPO field day will be held at 'Dharmanada', a multiple occupancy community of eight households at The Channon which provides much of its food from on-farm enterprises. The 102 ha property was selected in the first decade of the 20th Century and completely cleared within 20 years for dairying and bananas. Approximately 25% of the property is now farmed with the remainder being encouraged to return to its original forested condition. A small dairy herd (25 jerseys) provides milk, cheese, yogurt, butter etc, and manure for compost which is applied to orchard and gardens.
    Main focus of the field day will be the one acre communal garden which produces a wide range of vegetables in season. Fertility is maintained by composting, green manuring and the addition of mulch from the cow paddocks.
    
    Directions
    The property is at the end of Ross Road. Turn left off Terania Creek Road 6km north of The Channon.
