Presqîl is a small scale market garden situated on Peramangk Country, Forest Range (Adelaide Hills). Established in the growing season of 2023, our intention is to work with nature and grow in rhythm with the land and the season, to assist in nurturing the farm to create a healthy environment for vegetables and community to thrive. Our practices are centered around building soil that is alive and resilient.
About the Farm
Size
⅓ of an acre (1500 m2) total growing space
Growing Practices
Minimal tillage, permanent raised beds, resting and feeding through use of beneficial cover crops and crop rotation. We are not certified organic but see this as a base level of operation in regards to inputs and pest control. We never use synthetic fertilisers or pesticides and aim to reduce pest pressure by increasing biodiversity. Choosing to grow many different plants helps to create a thriving environment to attract all types of beneficial life on the farm, and provide a beautiful and nourishing place in which to work and live.
