We are so exciting to be at the Otway's Producer's Festival Sunday 20th! Our first market of the season and what a way to kick off our season. We will be there with fresh farm bunches, dahlia tubers and plants for sale. Please come and say hi, it's been a while and we can't wait to see you all. We have held onto some very special dahlia tubers just for this market so if you looking for some sort after varieties make sure you don't miss it.

We are in the process of shipping your Dahlia Tubers starting this week. We hope to complete all shipping by end of next week. You will get a tracking number when your tubers are on their way. We will reach out with pick up dates to those who will be collecting direct from the farm. So excited for everyone to have their new dahlias ready for planting soon. We will then take stock of our own tubers for planting. This year we will be expanding to put in 7000 plants and a breeding patch which I am most excited about. We will have one more online sale towards the end of October. This year we will also be selling dahlia tubers at some markets coming up in our local area. Stay tuned for more on that soon.

Lots happening on the farm in the last few weeks... a hectic start to the season with lots of infrastructure just going in now. Eeek and Spring is already here! New automated electric irrigation system going in and a new level space for the tunnel house. It's shaping up to be a great season once we get over the mud and mess!

Some of the beauties of 2023/2024
On the tail end of planting seedlings and I couldn't be happier about it. This year we decided we need to fight the weeds! So have invested in good quality weedmat that should last years. Last season weed management just about broke us physicaly and financially (with mulch costs and labour) So scaling up the farm this year we knew we had to do things differently.

Winkie Raven... I wish you could see the depth of colour on this one. The video does not do her justice. A deep plum shade and just perfect!
