MALT farm
46 Kubiels Rd, Merton VIC 3720
The Mansfield Agricultural Land Trust Farm vision developed
from an awareness that alternate approaches to conventional
agriculture are vital for Australia at this time. The MALT
Farm will be a working farm, built and maintained by the
hands of participants and as such, a living education centre
for sustainable agriculture. This will be the first known
custom built education facility of its type in Australia.
It is believed that an education centre with this focus is
vital in order to start planning for and catalysing a future
of sustainable farming.
