EXCITING NEWS FROM OUR BERRY FARM in Riana, North West Tasmania

Check out this wonderful discovery on our farm in Riana. These platypuses have been found during a recent survey of our dams with five platypuses now calling our farm dams home.

Not only are these animals cute, they also show that sustainable horticultural farming can align with a thriving ecosystem.

While platypuses are not typically domesticated or intentionally farmed, they may be found in farm dams due to the favourable conditions the water bodies provide:

  • Abundance of food
  • Shelter and nesting sites
  • Connected water systems
  • Low disturbance environment

The presence of native platypuses in our farm dams underscores our conviction that sustainable farming practices can produce high-quality produce and safeguard and conserve our environment.

 

 

Platypuses are integral indicators of the health of our water ecosystems, and their presence in our dams is a testament to the cleanliness and ecological richness we strive to maintain.
