Rohan & Fiona Morris… Gleneden Organic Farm 111 Slab Creek Rd, Gleneden via Gayndah A farm that has been in the Morris family for over a century, an absolute dedication to the land, its revitalisation through a mixed farm landscape and celebrating the biodiversity of the land which delivers our lifesource, is what drives Rohan and Fiona Morris at their organic farm in the Gleneden Valley. “Recognising the value in native plants and animals, above and below the soil. This has enormous flow on effects, healthy living soil results in healthy plants and animals, any positive we can get is ampflied for us as the eventual creature that eats what this soil has produced or the beast that has fed off the landscape,” Rohan said. It also creates a wonderfully, full bodied tasting food that is nourishing in all respects. Rohan says the meat from the Wessex saddle back pigs is so spectacular as it’s old breed, slow-grown, organically fed and truly freerange pasture-fed. They are processed into fresh cuts and are traditionally woodsmoked nitrate-free ham and bacon. There is a strong desire by Rohan to bring people back to a landscape which once housed over 100 people from 12 families but now is only home to less than 12, although he knows the farming and agricultural industry is a difficult one to make a dollar out of. Rohan and Fiona moved together to the farm as they wanted a good place for their young family to grow up and eat high quality food that we couldn’t affort to buy – we came here to grow and eat it. It’s a wonderful place for Eden (six) and Jethro (three) to hopefully take on one day. “We are trying to build our farm up to support two incomes, one for us now and one for our children for the future. We would love nothing less than for our two children to be able to derive and live off the land,” Rohan says.
The Morris Family welcome food adventurers to the beautiful Gleneden Valley, home of Rohan the Bullocky, their Working Bullock Team and Organic Farm on Sunday 10 July from 9-11am, as part of the North Burnett Heartland Festival. More details heartlandfestival.com.au
