Braidwood NSW
Our Story
Black truffle grown under just 300 oak trees, with organic and biodynamic methods — kept small enough that we can still stop, breathe the air, and enjoy it all.
The farm
A Small Family Truffière
We grow black truffle here at our family farm near Braidwood in NSW, under just 300 oak trees, using organic and biodynamic methods. We work hard to produce beautiful, dense truffle using only natural processes — the soil continually enlivened with biodynamic preparations.
We keep things at this scale on purpose, so we can manage every part of the process ourselves and still take time to stop, breathe, and enjoy it. It isn't the ancient oak forests of Périgord where wild boar once roamed — but it's definitely an oak forest in the making, and the resident wombat, echidnas and occasional visit from the feral pigs give the place its own atmosphere!
Why organic
Biodynamic + Organic Truffle
Biodynamics resonates with our values — regenerative agriculture aimed at enlivening soil and building plant health. Built on Rudolf Steiner's 1924 lectures, it offers a deeper recognition of nature, using the rhythms of earth and cosmos to enrich plant life and grow nutrient-dense food.
We've been gardening organically and learning biodynamics for many years — mostly through veggie patches in Sydney. Expanding into the truffle paddock when we began preparing the soil in 2011 was the natural next step.
It's been a wild journey: green manure crops so thick we could hardly find the baby trees, wombats taking up residence and digging mysterious holes, bush fires close by, La Niña rain events, extreme climate conditions. But the chicory, clovers, lucerne, oats, hand weeding, biodynamic sprays and annual tree paste help create beautiful oak trees, lush undergrowth and a rich, sparkling microcosm under the ground — and when we're lucky, very good truffle.
"We farm to the rhythm of the land — biodynamic methods, patient cultivation, no herbicides, and a belief that the best truffle is one grown in soil that is truly alive."
