Tim Eyes and Hannah Greenshields operate The Food Farm on a collection of formerly unused hinterland paddocks, raising animals naturally and regeneratively. Beef is grass-fed and finished with carefully managed rotational grazing, while chickens, for eating and egg laying, roam freely, moving on to fresh pasture every few days, with no chemicals, antibiotics or hormones used. The bacon and liver sausages, and deeply flavoured, organ-rich “offally good mince” are excellent.

The Food Farm has delivery services and appears at notable Sydney and Central Coast markets. In 2023, the pair built a quant, roadside store with a couple of fridges for their stock, an honesty cash box, and a self-use EFTPOS machine. What fun! The tin shed farm shop is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
