    Being in a property that was permaculture -principled and organic was absolutely special! The crispness of the apples and the free-range eggs were absolute treasures. We were able to walk around the neighbourhood and see some spectacular views,...

Graham
Elvenhome Farm and Cottage offer an eco-holiday experience, located close to the historic township of Deloraine. Hand built and cultivated for over twenty years, we are a Bio-Dynamic farm employing Permaculture design principles in both house and gardens. The farm showcases a diversity of environmentally sustainable living. Our unique self-contained cottage features bamboo floors and artisan crafted Blackwood windows. There are two bedrooms, comprising of a Queen bed suite and the second having comfortable twin bunks. The separate dining and living areas have a warm and spacious feel. A fully equipped kitchen is stocked with continental breakfast provisions and seasonal farm produce will be available for you to sample. A sun drenched patio is the perfect place to enjoy magnificent views and bird life. The farm is nestled into native bushland. The pre-existing clearing of five acres has been transformed into orchards, kitchen gardens, animal runs and structures for the home and visitor accommodation. A substantial orchard of fruits, nuts and berries, along with a vegetable garden, milking goats and laying hens provide plentiful supplies of produce year round.
Graham grew up in the Northern suburbs of Sydney where he carried out his apprenticeship as a carpenter and joiner. Upon completion he went traveling around Australia, where his interest grew in ecology and sustainable agricultural practices. In 1989 Graham moved to Tasmania and started to establish a sustainable farm - Elvenhome. He co-founded the Deloraine Regional Bio-dynamics Group in 1991, which works towards promoting sound Bio-dynamic practices. To further his long term interest in Permaculture, he completed the Permaculture Design Course in 1996 at the Southern Cross Permaculture Institute located in South Gippsland, Victoria. Further studies led him to complete a Certificate IV Horticulture (Herbs, Medicinal Herbs and Essential Oils) in 1998. Graham has also lectured in "Intro to Permaculture" courses through Northern Tasmania Adult Education. His passion and commitment is towards establishing a truly ecological sustainable way of living and sharing this with everyone.
