Welcome to the rolling green hills of Glendalough Farm
Glendalough Farm is located in Ferndale, Victoria, 127km southeast of Melbourne. The 235HA (580 acres) property is nestled in the Strzelecki ranges with rich soils and good annual rainfall. The property is owned by Greenfleet, a not-for-profit carbon offset organization, and we have entered into a partnership with them where our role is to farm one half of the property in order to see how much carbon we can sequester into the soil whilst the other half is being reforested.
This amazing opportunity was presented to us by Cultivate Farms and we are forever grateful for their part in our story.
Together with Greenfleet, we have designed the farm in way that the steepest and least accessible parts will be restored to native biodiverse forest with the remaining areas retained as grazing paddocks, demonstrating how these two approaches to climate action can successfully coexist.
In December of 2021 a number of soils tests were conducted across the property to establish a baseline for soil carbon levels. Every few years more soil tests will be conducted giving us the unique opportunity to show our customers exactly how much carbon has been sequestered for every kilogram of beef produced.
In 2025 we will be bringing our own beef from Glendalough Farm online. Until then, we will continue sourcing high quality beef and lamb from local organic and regenerative farmers:
-
Bronwyn and Burke Brandon - organic lamb from Bena, from their certified organic property
-
Phil Richards - beef from Jumbunna, South Gippsland from their certified organic property
