If you’ve ever visited Gullivers Farm Shop, chances are you’ve already met Sabrina.

Facing the Challenges Together: Farming in a Changing Climate
At Gullivers and Sturts Farm, we are proud to farm in a way that nurtures the land and cares for our animals. Our cows are 100% grass-fed – grazing in the fields during the warmer months and eating hay we harvest in spring to sustain them through the winter. We never use pesticides, and we work in harmony with the rhythms of the seasons.

From Field to Fridge: How Your Support Is Growing Our Herd (and So Much More)
Over the past year, our fresh, biodynamic, grass-fed milk has become a much-loved staple for many of you in the local community. We’ve been blown away by how quickly it sells out—sometimes faster than we can get it from the field to the fridge! And while that’s an amazing problem to have, it’s also meant that some customers have gone home without any milk, which we never want.
