The Story of Bangadang Farm | Sustainable Farming & Environmental Values

Celebrating Western Australia's
diverse ecosystem

Bangadang Farm is a locally run 850-acre property situated along the Preston River in the Southwest region of Western Australia. Over the years, we’ve had many dreams for what this land could become — but first, we needed to build the foundations, understand the soil, and grow from the ground up. Step by step, small progress led to meaningful milestones, and now our focus turns to regeneration and innovation.

We are deeply committed to reforesting our paddocks and restoring balance to the land. Since 2020, we’ve undertaken river regeneration works, reforested more than 10 acres, and begun an annual commitment to planting 1,000 trees each year, starting in 2023. Across the farm, native species have been reintroduced to strengthen biodiversity, attract pollinators, and create habitats for thriving wildlife.

Today, our attention is expanding beyond restoration to innovation — finding new ways to capture and preserve the abundance of our harvest through modern, sustainable methods. Each initiative reflects our belief that a healthy farm is both a living ecosystem and a place of progress, rooted in care for the land and its future.

Today as we take a look around at the farm, it is difficult to imagine that just a few short years ago this farm was an empty piece of land. When we first met Bangadang, she posed equally as both an opportunity, and an unknown.

We have created a video diary in order that we might share our story with you.

Food Forest

Our Food Forest spans over 2.5 hectares, brimming with citrus and stone fruits, figs, mulberries and a variety of nuts. With over 50 species trees, we continue to add to and expand production while continuing our efforts to research and develop healthier soil for more sustainable and healthier harvests.

Reforestation

This land would have once been a jarrah and marri native forest. With the rise of agricultural practises and the demand for timber, these have been cleared over time. Here at Bangadang we have taken on a reforestation project, having already replanted over 30 acres of native forest. We now are set to replant over 80 acres of trees with a range of native and deciduous species to maximise biodiversity across the farm.

Marron

The purpose of the “Marron Project” at Bangadang Farm is to increase the production of marron across the state, focusing upon dam farming. At Bangadang we are looking to produce a meaningful and consistent biomass of Marron from dams, with the view to double the production of Marron sales in WA. We aim to revolutionise the dam farming practices through the implementation of innovative infrastructure and Aquatic Agri-Tech practices. Our aim is to reflect within the dam environment biomass output closer to that of semi-intensive marron farming, i.e., ponds. It is our view that through collaboration with other farmers holding freshwater resources, we can create an opportunity to meet consumer demand domestically and internationally.

Fruit & Vegetables

Born from our farm and local community, the EverFresh Collection is a new venture exploring how to preserve the harvest at its freshest. Established in 2025, this initiative transforms locally grown and often second-grade fruit and vegetables that would otherwise go to waste into lightweight, nutrient dense, freeze-dried products.

Using advanced freeze-drying technology, we gently lock in natural colour, flavour, and nutrition without preservatives or added sugar. Every piece is preserved as if it were just harvested, extending the life of fresh produce while staying true to our values of freshness, quality, and innovation. From healthy snacks to vibrant ingredients, EverFresh captures the taste of the season — ready to enjoy year-round.

Truffery

Traditionally considered to only be cultivated in France, Spain, and Italy, it is not generally known that West Australia is one of the burgeoning producers of black truffles in the world. The soil and climate of West Australia is suited to the cultivation of French black truffle, Périgord truffle. Truffles are the fruiting bodies of soil fungi that live in a symbiotic relationship with the feeder roots of trees. Host tree seedlings are inoculated with truffle spores in the nursery before planting out in the field, and production and harvest begins five to seven years later. We have planted our own truffle orchard in 2023.

Our Garden

Everything we create begins on the farm, grown slowly and sustainably in small batches. Our produce reflects the rhythm of the seasons — from the fruits and vegetables we harvest to the herbs, flowers, and bee-friendly plants that thrive between them.

Hints and additions to our recipes or creations often come from this space: rosemary, basil, and native myrtles; bright sunflowers, lavender, and blooms that feed our pollinators. Each planting is intentional, designed to enrich both the soil and the flavours that define our products.

Our focus is simple: to grow with care, in harmony with nature, and to share food that carries the richness of Western Australian produce.
