Located within 45 minutes drive from Canberra airport, the MCNF comprises two farms, the Home Farm and Duralla, both on Mulloon Creek.
The Home Farm has a total area of 1740ha (4300ac) including 730ha (1800ac) of dry sclerophyll forest, with the remainder being floodplain pasture and sloping rangelands that have been biodynamically managed since 1994. The Home Farm spans the Great Dividing Range – which puts it in an interesting position of being at the headwaters of two of the major water catchments in Australia.
Straddling the Great Dividing Range at an altitude of 860m (2825ft), the western side of the property feeds into the Murrumbidgee river, which forms part of the catchment for the Murray Darling Basin. The eastern side of the property contains the Mulloon Creek, a tributary to Reedy Creek, which in turn feeds into the Shoalhaven River – a primary source of water for the city of Sydney.
A further 9km downstream from the Home Farm, Duralla is located on the old Boro-Mullon (the original name) coach road (now Hazeldell road) that was used to travel between Tarago and Queanbeyan, passing through Bungendore. It is at the junction of four creeks; Mulloon Creek, Shiel Creek, Sandhills Creek and Reedy Creek. Spanning 590ha (1450ac), Duralla is the home to our organic free-range egg operation.
