The betterment of ourselves and our soil is at the heart of what we do.
BANGADANG FARM celebrates Western Australia’s diverse ecosystem by adopting regenerative farming techniques with respect to the environment and its inhabitants.
The native forests form the backdrop and foundation to our agricultural activities, including production of marri honey, marron breeding, avocados, and merino wool, amongst many others.
We encourage you to follow us whilst our team implements innovative and unique farming practices.
We are looking to the future and the ways in which we might continue to improve our farm and the way in which we farm. As we begin our transition to organic, we continue to strive to be sustainable, regenerative and responsible in the way we manage our land.

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.
Avocados
In one corner of our farm, Hass avocado trees span across 7.5 hectares. Planted in January 2018 our trees now produce a plentiful crop. We irrigate them using our dam water and adopt a minimal spray policy. Indeed, we are now transferring over to an organic fertiliser and pesticide that can be fed through the irrigation system. We are licensed avocado growers, and uphold the FreshCare and ICA 30 standards. These avocados are proudly sold across Australia including in national supermarkets. In 2023 we have begun our transition to farming avocados organically.
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.
You can follow our progress on YouTube.
Our Garden
Our kitchen garden provides a plethora of produce; traditional crops of garlic, sweetcorn, and broad beans are met against swathes of rosemary, dill, and lemon & cinnamon myrtle. The garden is bordered by seasonal pollinators, sun flowers, roses and lavender. Our focus is to grow the most nutrient-dense organic produce possible.

Our Garden
The first inhabitants of Australia’s South West were the Noongar Aboriginal people who have had a meaningful connection with this land for 50,000 years. We would like to acknowledge the Noongar people as the traditional owners of this land. At Bangadang we strive to operate with respect to this culture and care for the Boodja (country).
