OUR FARMS Northern Rivers is a small Agritourism business that works in collaboration with farms within the Byron Bay hinterland to deliver educational farm tours and workshops to the community on sustainable farming practices and raw-food processing. It combines the special features of each farm with the unique skills and knowledge of our local farmers to deliver high-quality interactive tours and workshops to the community on  pecan nuts, coffee, cheese, honey, flowers, essential oils, and permaculture.

All workshops include return transportation from pick-up locations in Byron Bay to our partner farms as well as a tasting and morning tea featuring the signature products of our local farms.

To our local farmers, OUR FARMS Northern Rivers offers an extra source of income and increased brand awareness with minimal time investment.

OUR FARMS Northern Rivers is a dream that was born 5 years ago , when Liz and Rene lived together in Sydney and became close friends. It was born over endless nights chatting about shared experiences and common aspirations. It was the realisation that life made the most sense when spent in nature, working the land and looking after farm animals, whether it had been milking cows and making cheese in a small hobby farm in Victoria (for Liz), or raising farm animals, growing his own veggies and learning about the medicinal properties of some plants from his immigrated parents at home (for Rene). 

When Liz move back to the Northern Rivers, this dream grew bigger every time Rene came to visit her in Byron Bay. It grew so big that Rene also made the decision to leave everything behind to move and settle in the Northern Rivers, with the hope to make this “sustainable dream” come true.

For Liz and Rene, creating OUR FARMS Northern Rivers means contributing to much more than their own personal achievements, through helping both the community and the environment by preaching for sustainability. 

Their goal is to lessen the disconnection between the farmers and the consumers by providing authentic farm experiences to the community. They believe that teaching the community to process sustainable farm products is the best way to share this wonderful experience with those that do not always have access to nature.
