Changing Habits Farm
Regenerative farming for a healthier planet
Regenerative Farming
Regenerative farming is an approach to agriculture that seeks to improve the health and vitality of soil, water, and ecosystems while producing food and fibre. It focuses on building soil health through practices such as cover cropping, crop rotation, composting, reduced tillage, and livestock integration. These practices work together to improve soil structure, increase water retention, reduce erosion, and enhance nutrient cycling.
Regenerative farming also emphasises the use of natural pest management techniques and the preservation of biodiversity. By prioritising soil health, regenerative farming aims to create resilient and sustainable agricultural systems that can adapt to changing environmental conditions and support the long-term health of both people and the planet.
About Our Farm
Welcome to Changing Habits Farm
A sanctuary dedicated to sustainable and regenerative agriculture. Rooted in a rich farming heritage from Iowa, I, along with my husband Howard and son Brogan, transformed our dream into reality by purchasing a farm in Reesville on The Sunshine Coast in April 2015. As a nutritionist, my journey towards understanding the impact of chemical agriculture on human and animal health led to the creation of the documentary ‘What’s With Wheat’. This awareness drove us to cultivate our own food, free from harmful chemicals, GMOs, and synthetic additives.
At Changing Habits Farm, we focus on soil health to nurture robust plants, animals, and ultimately, human health. Our methods include cell grazing for cattle, biodynamics, multi-species pastures, natural sequence farming, agroforestry, and regenerative chicken husbandry. We pride ourselves on not using chemicals, maintaining high biodiversity, and ensuring our soils are rich in organic matter. Our creeks run clean, and our soil remains intact, reflecting our commitment to environmental stewardship.
A Thriving Education Hub
We have created a thriving educational hub where visitors can learn about regenerative farming and health. Join us at The Festival of Food and Farming, Regenerate Health & Wellness Retreat, or on one of our annual farm tours. Experience farm life firsthand by staying at The Cattleman’s Cottage, where you can enjoy private tours and elopements. At Changing Habits Farm, we are dedicated to healing the land, animals, and people, and we invite you to be a part of our journey.
Our mission extends beyond farming; it encompasses community and education. We believe in sharing our knowledge and practices to inspire others towards healthier, more regenerative lifestyles. By hosting events like The Festival of Food and Farming and the Regenerative Health & Wellness Retreat, we offer hands-on experiences and insights into the benefits of regenerative agriculture. Every visit to Changing Habits Farm is an opportunity to witness how nurturing the land can lead to flourishing ecosystems and vibrant health for all. Join us, and become part of a movement dedicated to healing the planet, one farm at a time.
