Wynlen House
Wynlen House is a small village farm, on a large suburban block in the village of Braidwood, NSW, following the age-old tradition of growing food to be consumed locally. We grow vegetables and raise sheep, poultry and pigs for food. Our farm is run as a permaculture or poly-culture mixed farm and we practice organic, regenerative and sustainable food production.
Our Philosophy
Growing food and raising farm animals offers opportunities to put meaning and productivity into your life. Working with the soil, helping it produce and practicing animal husbandry (raising animals) satisfies the human urge to keep in contact with the foundation of life. It provides focus and gives immense joy. Eating food that has been grown with passion, love and care is the best food in the world. It is food with soul and you can taste the difference.

Our farming practice is not static. We have pioneered the use of agricultural fabrics, cloche frames, and covered cropping into small farm food production in our cold climate region.
We practice, teach and showcase principles of regenerative horticulture and sustainable farming. Our methods include bio-intensive poly-culture; building soil, conserving water and space. |
This method of horticulture is not new. Organic systems of intensive horticulture have been practiced for thousands of years and are by far the highest yielding forms of agriculture using fewer resources.
We continue to learn, explore and understand. Most importantly we continue to learn from our environment. |
All aspects of food, its quality, its origins, its preparation, how it arrives at our plate needs to be thought about. Every one of these steps has an impact on our environment. Producing food organically and locally minimises this impact. This is called Slow Food or Fair Food and is defined by three principles: good, clean and fair.
