We are Certified Organic Market Gardeners located in Baxter, on the Mornington Peninsula. We are currently farming 30 acres of land and specialise in heirloom/heritage vegetables. Some of our specialties include the heirloom carrots, heirloom beetroot and heirloom radish. We like to think we are a bit different from the average grower.
We have also purchased 100 acres on the Murray Rivery in Barham which we started farming in April 2013 - this is to help supplement our Baxter farm with various lines of produce.
Because we are on the Mornington Peninsula, we have a much better growing climate than other parts of the state. We grow many of our lines year round.
For further information please call 0430 007972 or contact us.
We provide seasonal boxes to several food co-ops around Melbourne and Victoria. We deliver these on a Friday, or you can collect from the farm by prior arrangement. We offer set boxes, $30, $40 and $50 which contain our fresh vegetables picked on the day of packing. Some co-ops also order bulk fruit and other veg separately and these are shared among the co-op members. If you would like more information, please contact Tash at shieldsfarming@yahoo.com.au
Farm gate sales every Friday 8:00 - 5:30pm, Saturdays 9:00 - 2:00pm and Mondays 8am - 3pm at 6 Henderson Road Baxter.
We attend Farmers Markets around Melbourne and the Peninsula - view our Markets to see our schedule.
You can pre-order any of your fruit and veggies for collection any time on our Farm Gate days. We have a full range of certified organic fruit and vegetables available for purchase at our farm gate.
We also supply wholesale so for more information please call 0430 007972 or contact us.
