“We have 10 acres in the ground, so we will have sweet spuds for the next 2 or 3 months, maybe up to November,” says Gary Harm from Mt Whitestone.
“It’s only been 6 years since we started growing sweet potatoes and we are planting using our own runners. We’ve changed varieties over the last 2 years, as the old variety just got too big.
“The ‘reds’ are maybe a little sweeter and have red skin and white flesh, and the ‘gold’ are all gold!
“We like to grow them, and people are enjoying the flavour,” says Gary.
Mt Whitestone is a 300 acre biodynamic farm run by the Harm family at Gatton, near Brisbane - certified Demeter since 1994.

“When we were looking for a new kefir flavour, we wanted to make something different and healthy,” says Heidi Fallding, co-founder of Marrook Farm with her late partner David Marks in 1985.
“Turmeric is a great antioxidant, but as i understand it, to be best used in the body, it needs to be taken with a fat and black pepper. The fat (milk) is in the kefir, the cinnamon and ginger add spice and more health benefits, and the coconut syrup is a non-sugar sweetener, which seemed subtle enough sweetener suitable for the blend. It also adds a dark colour. We always had a definite policy of not using sugar to sweeten any of our products, feeling that Australian taste is too sweet and sugar dominated.
For us, sweetness needed to be more gentle and subtle rather than a straight hard hit.
At the time turmeric lattes were becoming well known, and this was another way of getting their turmeric hit in a pleasant way,” says Heidi.
Marrook Farm Biodynamic Golden Kefir is now being made using Demeter certified biodynamic milk from Western District family farms in Victoria, and made under the guidance of Heidi at Mortlake.

“The cabbages are going alright” says Gary Harm from Mt Whitestone.
“It’s been a pretty dry couple of months at the start of the season. The rain stopped and all the paddocks began to brown off, but then we had a few showers, and where we had nothing…it all came on like a flood.
“We had a bit of aphid in the outer leaves early on and we used some predatory wasps and looks like we have them under control.
“It all looks good going into cooler weather” says Gary.
Mt Whitestone is a 300 acre biodynamic farm run by the Harm family at Gatton, near Brisbane - certified Demeter since 1994.
During the 25 week planting season between January and June, they plant approx. 6,000 cabbages per week - which equals when fully grown, about 9,000 kg of cabbage (green and red) harvested each week. Demeter Biodynamic - Food with Flavour, Working with Nature

Mill Spring Farm - Autumn update Thankyou for all your donations. ...

Mill Spring Farm - Autumn update Thankyou for all your donations. The money will go towards getting’Mill Spring Farm’ biodynamic fruit into the shops. I am seeing recovery on three varieties of cherries, some of our ‘211’ peach variety, a few varieties of apples and maybe 4 varieties of plums. The amount of trees that ‘live’ is yet to be seen.
This year will be a lot of work helping the trees get healthy with lots of pruning to do.
One of the tractors (240 Massey ) that had its wheels burnt off has been repaired and I have used it to sow 30 acres of oats for hay (see pics) which I plan to use to mulch around some of the healthier trees.
That same equipment will be used to sow a green manure crop into the orchard just to feed the trees.
Your donations have bought strainer posts for our fences and will replace one of three pumps for watering the orchard in the dry days of summer. Over time I will get a shed and packing bench and when I see fruit, I will buy boxes and packaging sufficient for the fruit I expect to pick.
I have met some amazing people since the fire.
I have been given a small tractor to keep that suits a post hole digger, and a chainsaw, and a generator early on while the power was out.
The Ruffy CFA was donated tools and I have been given some, and our local recovery centre based at the Ruffy Hall has looked after us with food and our general wellbeing ever since the fires.
We are registered with ‘Blazeaid’ and they will replace the strainer posts for me when it’s my turn.
The orchard sheds are going to be cleared away to the concrete slab for free. The ‘trade-off’ is I have the space and potential, but no shed.
The fire has changed things alot.
Mum and Dad have bought a house in Euroa which is about 30 minutes away, and is a big change for them after living here since 1978.
We are particularly grateful for the generosity of ex.Demeter farmers from Kangaroo Island; Kathy and Graham Barrett (who experienced the same fate 6 years ago) and spent a couple of weeks with us cleaning up in February, and to Peter Pods.

The Martin family of ‘Mill Spring Farm’ were one of the many properties at the small town of Ruffy, in the Strathbogie Ranges (100 km north of Melbourne) that were devastated in the ‘Longwood’ bushfire on Thursday 8th January.
At the time of the fire, the Martins’ were harvesting stone fruit from their 15 acre mixed orchard; with apples, quince and olives on the way.
Adrian and Valda’s son Craig, managed to save his house, but apart from one shed and ‘the market Ute’ (which has some scars), the Martins’ have lost everything: the main home, sheds, the majority of fences, tractors, irrigation, machinery and farm tools on the 184 acre property - not even a chainsaw to help clear the debris remains. The orchard was severely burnt - it is too early to understand the extent of the damage to the trees - and the property may take years to get back into full production.
The Martin family established ‘Mill Spring Farm’ in 1978, initially to run sheep, and began planting their orchard in 1991, converting to Demeter biodynamics in 1994.
“ The devastation has to be seen to be believed. The Martin family need support (www.gofundme/f/rebuild-mill-spring-biodynamic-orchard-after-the-bushfires)
Hopefully those in the biodynamic and organic communities who have appreciated the quality of the Martin’s produce over many years, and respect their dedication and efforts to farm naturally, may be in a position to help get them back on track, and do what they do best. As Craig said, ‘went to tie something up, and didn’t even have a bit of bailing twine or string’.
That’s says it all.”
