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.
