ABOUT QUARTER ACRE FARM
The Quarter Acre Farm (QAF) is situated on a suburban house block in Mittagong, NSW. The property has been converted from a lawn desert into an abundant, diverse, ornamedible landscape since 2005 by Joanne Dodd. Ecological design and practices are used to produce a range of crops, including out-of-the-ordinary vegetables such as skirret, yacon, waterchestnuts, and Chinese artichokes (Crosne). A variety of edible flowers, edible ‘weeds’, herbs and fruits are also grown, many of which are gifted to some of the best restaurants in the Southern Highlands. The property also showcases repurposed materials in unique and functional ways.
The Quarter Acre Farm holds Open Days to pass on local growing tips and tricks, and inspire visitors with ideas to take home. Joanne also runs workshops, presents at community events, and is available as a consultant for ideas generation, garden designs, fruit tree and orchard restoration, and on-going mentoring.
