Federal Organics : Farmer - Evan Benson Anderson FEED BR #003
Congratulations Evan @ Federal Organics who has just completed the on farm audit for our FEED - Northern Rivers : Ecological Guarantee.
Big thanks to the Northern Rivers Young Farmers Alliance - NRYFA for being our farmer and consumer advocates for the peer-review.
While we enjoyed home made Lemonade we reviewed Evens remarkable short and impressive journey turning a 1/4 acre horse arena into productive market gardens.
As a part of a 6acre Certified Organic lemon farm, Evan described plans for diversifying with protected polytunnel growing areas, and the integrating chicken / egg production.
Evan began in August by ripping the compacted / rocky / horse paddock before continuing with cover crops and cultivation.
He now has a great selection of heirloom tomatoes, eggplants and herbs almost ready for harvest.
He has included beehives for pollination, a range of interplanted flowers and herbs for attracting beneficial insects.
Impressive work and we are very glad to have him as a member of FEED - Northern Rivers.
