Old Fig Farm

About Us

Old Fig Farm is the realisation of a long held family dream to live in the country, farm regeneratively, incorporate lots of animals in positive ways and create amazing products.

We are located at Hannam Vale on the NSW Mid North Coast – approximately 3.5 hours drive north of Sydney. Hannam Vale lies within a valley formed by the the three Brother mountains – giving it a unique lush, vibrant climate.

Farming regeneratively means that we incorporate clever management of animals and biodiversity and avoid chemicals so that we build super healthy soils and encourage life, nourishing animals and humans, sequestering carbon from the atmosphere, and making the land we are custodians of stronger and more resilient.

What We Farm

Our Animals

We have beef cattle, managed holistically. They are a herd of Simbrah (Simmental/Brahman), Fleckvieh and Herefords, chosen because of their suitability to our climate and as a superb beef breed.

In addition to the cattle we have horses, chickens and roosters, guinea fowls, dogs and cats.

Limes

We have an established lime orchard of 65 trees. With the idyllic climate for Tahitian limes, these fruit year round. The orchard is managed organically with no nasty chemicals used. Where possible we fertilise and mulch with on farm materials to further reduce carbon footprint of production.

We sell fresh limes, sliced dried limes, lime salt, lime honey mustard dressing and lime and lemon myrtle cordial.

Did you know?

Tahitian limes turn a pale yellow or even look like a lemon when ripe. At this time they are lowest In acidity, highest in juice and sweetness.
Limes can be frozen for later use
Limes are high in vitamin C and antioxidants
The health benefits of lime are due to its many nutritious elements like vitamin C, vitamin B6, vitamin A, vitamin E, folate, niacin thiamin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, copper, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, phosphorus and protein. Lime also contains flavonoids, which are composites that contain antioxidant and cancer fighting properties. It helps prevent diabetes, constipation, high blood pressure, fever, indigestion, as well as improve the skin, hair, and teeth.

Zen Hen Yoga & Meditation Studio

After many decades of yoga practice and then eighteen months of study, Hen (Helen) has graduated a qualified Level 1 Yoga and Meditation Teacher. Hen has lovingly converted our old Dairy Bales (previously AirBNB accommodation) into an intimate yoga studio located on the farm amidst the peaceful sounds of the birds.

Zen Hen Studio offers range of classes, all with the common thread of not just practicing healing yoga but learning about it too. All the classes have a restorative theme to them even those which are designed to build strength, stamina and flexibility.

With just five people max in the studio yogi’s are sure to receive personal attention and optional touch assistance and can drift into Savasana to the sounds of the farm.

Class details, packages and timetable as well as bookings are all available via ClassFit
