Australia: Building an organic horticulture farm from the ground up

After selling his sister’s organic sweet potatoes at his Brisbane market stall Nathan Wulff decided it was time he had a go at the horticulture game too.

Nathan along with his father Ole Wulff purchased a 16 hectare property at Churchable, outside of Gatton in February this year and have started planting capsicums, eggplant and tomatoes.

The property has an 800m2 greenhouse and the produce will be graphed to better understand the plants growth and soil conditions and the duo are currently in the process of becoming certified organic growers.
