Our Brands

This week 3 new 30,000 litre water tanks have arrived. 2 will act as header tanks on the highest part of the property and the 3rd will be located next to the pipeline. The pipeline is a historic piece of infrastructure put in to supply water from a reservoir east of Bathurst to the Edgells vegetable processing works in town.

As the pipeline goes through our property we have water rights to the untreated, raw water at a cost substantially cheaper to town water.

We will pump the water from the pipeline tank to the header tanks with a twin impeller petrol pump through a 40mm poly pipe. Ultimately we will have a bore feeding into the same system and also rainwater tanks harvesting from the roofs of new structures.

Also arriving this week has been around 200 bareroot trees, both ornamental and edible, which we will plant once the water is available. The trees have been heeled into some herbal compost, a by product from our manufacturing.
