Welcome to the Small Farms Network

The Small Farms Network is a free support service for people who live on or manage rural and peri-urban land on the south coast and southern highlands of NSW. The Network provides support to all landholders ranging from half a hectare to several hundred hectares. Members in our Network range from full time farmers/producers, to residents who visit their property on the weekend and live in Sydney.

A range of services are provided to assist you with your activities whether it be:

  • producing beef, sheep, goats, poultry, alpacas or worms
  • horticultural crops, farm forestry, bush tucker or vegetables for family or commercial production
  • weed control, pasture productivity and soil health advice
  • project planning for bushland, creek restoration or shelterbelts design
  • training workshops and field days on a wide range of topics

The Network will help you achieve your property and enterprise goals through planning, advice and implementation of sound sustainable land management practices.

The Small Farms Network currently provides support to all rural landholders in the Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Wingecarribee, Shoalhaven and Eurobodalla Council areas.
