The farm, and it's relationship to The Mulloon Institute

The Mulloon Institute and Mulloon Creek Natural Farms have a very tight relationship: The farm acts as a campus for the MI, whilst also being a living laboratory for the research that is undertaken at MI. In return, MI develops knowledge through its research and education programs that is then used by the farm managers to improve the farming methods being applied, showing that they can be proven to work at a farm scale.  

Mulloon Creek Natural Farms is a grazing, cropping and carbon building enterprise covering two farms in close proximity to each other on the Mulloon Creek, east of Canberra, towards the coast and approximately 280 km south of Sydney. The total holding is 2330 hectares or 5750 acres, with one property, “The Home Farm” covering 1740 ha (4300 ac) and the other, “Duralla”, covering 590 ha (1450 ac). The former occupies all of a small valley adjacent to and straddling the Great Dividing Range and the other is in more open country. On “The Home Farm” there is approximately 730 ha (1800 ac) of native forest.

Both properties are organic using the biodynamic system of agriculture and, with "A" grade certification, MCNF is a member of the Biological Farmers of Australia (BFA). Our purpose is to be a diverse, sustainable working role model of excellence for profitable biodynamic production and landscape restoration together with outstanding research and education programmes.
