From a bare barley paddock purchased in 1983, Annemarie and Graham Brookman have created 15 acres of buzzing biodiversity. Their permaculture farm produce 160 varieties of organically certified fruit and vegetables, also: nuts, wheat, eggs, honey, beans, Australian native foods, nursery plants and timber.

The Brookman’s permaculture farm at Gawler is a learning center. They welcome others wanting to discover how an ordinary family can grow their own food and create a productive and diverse landscape. Using environmentally sustainable techniques,  recognising each part of the food system is interdependent. The farm is a complex and bountiful ecosystem with room for both crops and native bush. Permaculture a system of whole farm planning using sustainable agriculture, alternative energy, ethical investment, organic gardening and bioregionalism. Permaculture (permanent agriculture) is a framework for thinking about and designing environmentally sustainable farms, gardens, buildings and communities. It aims to create systems that will sustain not the present, but future generations.
