WELCOME TO
Darling View Farm
Permaculture and Aquaponics
Welcome to our Farm
We are a permaculture farm in Bouvard, Western Australia, our aim is to produce a wide range of home-grown eggs, fruit, veg and honey. Permaculture is a design philosophy and land management approach built around working with natural systems rather than against them - mimicking the resilience, diversity and self sufficiency found in healthy ecosystems. At its core, it integrates food production, water harvesting and soil building without the use of imported fertiliser. The term was coined in 1978 by two Australians, Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, who formulated the concept in opposition to modern industrialized methods, instead adopting a more traditional or "natural" approach to agriculture but with scope for future developments and technologies.

Farm in Bouvard
Western Australia
Our Chooks
Our chickens are Highlines supplied by the Freemantle Egg Company as Pullets. Now grown to egg layers, they produce fresh eggs daily. Their shed provides secure roosting at night, comfortable nesting boxes and the radio playing during the day so they can relax! They are free to roam our citrus orchard and wood, providing insect control and fertilising the trees. You will find their egg yolks a rich and vibrant orange thanks to their healthy diet which includes Azola grown on our aquaponic pond and Mealworms grown in a special production area.
Wicking Beds
Darling View Farm use Wicking Beds to provide fruit and vegetables. This system provides a Waterwise way to produce food for consumption and sale. A wicking bed is a type of self- watering garden bed that uses a built-in water reservoir to keep your soil consistently moist — without daily watering. Instead of watering from the top and losing moisture to run-off or evaporation, a wicking bed draws water upward from a reservoir at the base, delivering it directly to where your plants need it most — the roots. It’s a highly efficient self-watering garden system — ideal for dry climates, busy gardeners, or anyone wanting to conserve water and it’s proven to reduce water use while improving plant health
Bees
Our beautiful and resourceful Italian honey bees were sustainably resourced from local swarms. Housed in their new Australian Flow Hives, they enjoy the local native flora within the farm & local surrounds boosting pollination. A Flow Hive is a type of beehive developed by Stuart and Cedar Anderson in Australia, first launched in 2015. Its key innovation is the Flow Frame, a specially designed frame with partially formed honeycomb cells that bees complete with wax and fill with honey. Unlike traditional hives, honey can be extracted without opening the hive, brushing off bees, or using centrifugal extractors, making the process cleaner and less stressful for both the beekeeper and the bees.

Lemon Butter, Orange Marmalade, Mulberry Jam & of course our own honey.

Our History
We used to run a 200 acre sheep farm (Dorpers) just south of Donnybrook in WA, we also bred Marron in our many dams and managed a plantation of trees for fine furniture production. We've now moved to a much smaller property in Bouvard and decided to build a Permaculture farm on a 5 acre block on a 'sand dune' overlooking Collins Pool next to Yalgorup National Park! The reducing rainfall in WA, poor sandy soil and limited acreage are problems that require innovative and sustainable solutions. With plenty of research and a good deal of trial and error, we now have a working, sustainable farm with solar power, water tanks, orchards, wicking beds and very happy chooks!
