Farm planning

It’s important to Southern Highlands Farm Management that farm owners benefit from their property in every way possible.

We’ll help you make the most out of your assets and soil, to maximise your yield – and your return on investment.

Horticulture and gardening services

No job is too big or too small for the team at Southern Highlands Farm Management.

A day in the life of a farmer might involve trimming hedges, mowing lawns, weeding garden beds and harvesting the veggies. It can also mean:

  • contracting fruit pickers and harvesters
  • netting the fruit trees
  • advising on pest management
  • working with the agronomist on soil conditions
  • implementing organic farming techniques
  • identifying sustainable practices
  • keeping up to date with contemporary farming practices.

Whether your farm is large or small, Southern Highlands Farm Management can help.

Buying a farm? We can help

We offer professional property assessment services for aspiring farm buyers.

“I’ll help you figure out if what you’re thinking of doing on your future farm is really going to work out the way you want it to.”

Rural property assessment: how it works

  • Define the brief: we’ll listen to what you hope to do with your new property, and talk through the opportunities.
  • Opportunity assessment: using our contacts and local know-how, we’ll research potential farms, and whether they’ll suit your purpose. We’ll visit properties to make sure they fit your brief, or report on what it might cost to get it to that point.
  • Pre-sales inspection: we’ll walk the farm with the agent (and you) to identify issues and opportunities.
  • Report: the final report will tell you all the details the rural estate agent may not, like how many livestock you could run, problems with fencing, weeds and water, and the potential layout of the farm for machinery sheds and windbreaks.

“Often there are questions buyers haven’t thought of yet… like how long it takes to duck into town if they want to meet a mate for coffee.”
