ChinChin Farm
"We grow grass". As a mixed farming enterprise we start by looking after our soil and remediating the land. From our Australian White Sheep to our 10,000 Lavenders, Australian Native Bush plants and bees, they all benefit from the improvements we make to the soil. They are all in some way linked to each other, benefitting from co-existing on Chin Chin Farm.
When Stuart, Sonia, Tom and Max moved from suburban Melbourne to rural Chintin in the East of the Macedon Ranges they were almost immediately rewarded by seeing their efforts in improving the previously unmanaged land transformed into flourishing forests and an increased diversity of the pastures.
Chinchin Farm is a mixed farming enterprise with a philosophy that begins by looking after the soil and remediating the land. The resulting lush grass and adjoining native forests work in harmony ensuring that everything grown on the farm is enhanced with flavour from the ground up.
The growing flock of White Australian Sheep helps feed the soil to grow over 10,000 food-grade lavender plants which in turn, along with the nursery of native bushfood plantings, and native bushland, nourishes the healthy apiary of honey bees.
The family benefits too, by working hard and enjoying their environment and the fruits of their labour. The Chinchin Farm sheep enjoy a scratch behind the ears and the plants and bees are happy.... and so are the Whiteman Family.
