A Time To Grow

After celebrating its tenth year in 2025, The Farm Byron Bay is looking firmly to the future. Welcoming more than half a million visitors last year, the 80-acre regenerative farm is entering its second decade with a renewed focus on what has always been at its core: education, collaboration and food grown in tune with nature.

Built on chemical-free, seasonal and regenerative farming practices, The Farm brings together growers, chefs, producers and educators across 14 on-site enterprises working to a shared mission of Grow. Feed. Educate. Give Back. From supplying produce to Three Blue Ducks Byron, to returning food waste back to the soil through composting, the farm operates as a circular, living system.

Education continues to play an increasingly central role, with expanding school programs, guided tours and hands-on experiences like Into the Paddock and Farm Kids helping visitors of all ages better understand how regenerative farming works in practice. As The Farm looks ahead, its focus remains on strengthening its people, its systems and its responsibility to show what’s possible when food, land and community are deeply connected.
