History
Originally dairy country, the land has also been used for corn growing and citrus. It has been used for beef cattle grazing over the last three decades. It has also had some minor vegetable production a couple of years ago.

Organic History
It has been run biodynamically (organically) for the last 8 years and was certified with Demeter for much of that. In the last 2 years the certification has lapsed. Just over half the pastures have been agisted to a neighbour. He has applied some super phosphate at the time that he sows his winter rye. Regaining certification for the other half will be easy, whilst the agisted half may require a year or two of organic practices before being able to re-certify depending on your certification body. The property is well suited for organics because the vast bulk of it is not subject to neighbour run off. One of the possible inclusions is the sale is the biodynamic 500 stirring machine, storage box, spray tank and spray unit.
