Welcome to the story of 8 Families

About 15 years ago 8 farming families from the Gundagai/Holbrook area in the Eastern Riverina realised they were asking themselves the same key questions about their farming practices. How do we turn our farms into places that are not only sustainable but actively regenerate the land? And how do we make sure that this process creates financially viable businesses, beautiful physical environments and not too much life stress?

Through training in the principles of Holistic Management all of us gradually transitioned to thinking and acting differently when making decisions about our lives and our farms.   

We decided to launch 8Families to share these experiences, promote the resulting produce and to show people how satisfying it can be to go down the regenerative path. So here are the stories of 8 families. Well 9 actually. But we started as 8 and we are sticking with those lovely curves.
