The farm has been in operation as a successful tea tree plantation since being established in the early 90's.
Currently, the farm remains at 110 hectares - with approx 45 hectares under tea tree plantation.
The farm has good soil - high Soil Organic matter with silt being deposited from previous floods.
There is an opportunity for someone to use that remaining land to establish a start-up farming business. I believe there is an opportunity to run a pasture raised egg business, possibly meat chickens and pasture raised pigs.
Alternatively, there also remain opportunities for someone looking at establishing a high-value-add business or farming a higher value crop such as Mushrooms, microgreens, or market garden.
