Nestled in the hills behind Mapleton on the Sunshine Coast, The Falls Farm grows a huge variety of fruit, vegetables and herbs in the loving hands of a green-thumbed family.

 

Since August 2013, The Falls Farm has been using a combination of traditional farming techniques with the latest techniques for soil knowledge. In consultation with landcare groups and permaculture experts, The Farm has evolved from a degraded 30-acre property to a fully blossoming market garden of both everyday and obscure produce for the curious.

The Farm, located near Mapleton Falls on the luscious Sunshine Coast, was created by Ben and Jess, globetrotting designers and now local publicans, who return to the land constantly for sanity. Green-thumbed and versatile parents Christine, David, Peter and Val and a bevy of smiling farmhands have joined the ride, working towards the common goal of growing food that is good for you and she (our mother nature), while increasing biodiversity of a once-neglected piece of land.
