About Me
- freeranger
- Grantville, Victoria, Australia
- With a background in journalism and public relations in the UK, Africa and Australia, I've been farming for over 30 years. I'm also an Environmental Auditor and have been an egg industry auditor. I'm now President of the Free Range Egg and Poultry Association of Australia. Our farm has been designed for sustainable land management and we have a long involvement with Landcare. The farm is also home for the Margo Kroyer-Pedersen Wildlife Shelter. I have carried out regional flora and fauna surveys and have also run courses and lectured on community development and land management. The farm runs sheep, cattle and horses as well as laying hens - a genuine mixed farm. Everything on the farm is designed for minimal impact. As much as possible recycled materials are used, solar power is used for fences and the farmhouse hot water is an evacuated tube solar system. Even our main shed, which includes the farm office, egg grading room, storage and maintenance facilities, was constructed mainly using recycled steel sections purchased at a farm clearing sale.
