On the edge of the Monaro, Opportunity Farm is our opportunity to live, raise our children and share a more sustainable life. With our retro-fitted 1941 farmhouse, solar power, tank water, livestock for meat, eggs, milk and fibre and fresh garden vegetables and fruit, our ultimate aim as teachers, is to invite others, particularly children, to breathe fresh air, engage with farm animals and learn hands-on where their food and fibre comes from.

Harvest haul
It is that time of year when the plants are producing as fast as you can pick. The Gravenstein apples are falling, the peaches going soft, the tomatoes red and the zucchinis large. There is an excess of cucumbers, a culling of basil leaves and a sprouting of silverbeet.
Tomorrow there is tomato sauce, spaghetti sauce and pesto to make. The pigs have plenty to munch on and the pantry is full of apples.
All is well with the world of Opportunity Farm.
