Gracemere Farmstead

Gracemere Farmstead in Yorklea, NSW, is a real family affair, run by Stephen, Melanie, Bethany, Chloe, and Tahlia. They've been on the farm since 2016, starting with just a few piglets and chickens, and now they're raising heaps of pasture-raised animals. You can grab their chicken, eggs, pork, and beef direct from the farm gate. They've got about 200 meat chickens going every month, plus another 200 laying hens, a good number of cows, and pigs. They've even got geese, donkeys, and horses roaming around. Beyond the farm gate, Gracemere offers a bunch of ways to experience farm life. They run homeschool programs, farm tours, and excursions, which sounds like a great day out for the kids and grown-ups alike. If you fancy staying a bit longer, they've got accommodation options too, like a guest wing, family wing, east wing, and a farmstay unit, even camping if you prefer. These folks are all about pasture-raised protein, so you know the animals are living a good life out in the paddock. They're keen to share their story, covering the 'how and why' of their farming journey, which is a nice touch.
