REGENERATIVE FARMING
At Lakey Farm, we are converting CO2 into soil carbon by our judicious regenerative farming. Crash grazing with high stocking rates, rotational mixed grazing, respecting native pasture, cover cropping, native tree revegetation and wildlife corridors, and use of dung beetles.

Rotational Grazing
Livestock are moved through our paddocks, the rotations are timed to allow native grasses and forbs to flower and set seed
