The Farm

The Braidwood Arts property is built on a permaculture plan, and we produce fruit, vegetables, flowers, Kangaroo Grass and mulching hay for the local markets (held the first Saturday of each month).

Both the Briaidwood Arts Cottage, and the Braidwood Arts Homestead are solar powered, running on tank water, and wood heated. We pride ourselves on living as self sustainably as possible.

Sharing the 16 acres is owner Fran Ifould and her two daughters, Karla and Bohie, who built their self sustainable house here in 1992.

Dinner comes direct from the garden each day

We find winter nights are best spent by the fire
