I believe life doesn’t have to be always busy, busy, busy. Of course it often is, but finding enjoyment in the simple things, such as a slow coffee, time spent in the garden, and of course family time are so important to me.

Balancing Rock Farm is a small farm in Western Victoria, in southern Australia. 

Besides our small commercial mobs of beef cattle and sheep, we also have two milking cows, Marmalade and Apricot, a large flock laying hens, a wide variety of fruit and vegies, and of course our farm dogs - Clancy, Jackie and Madi!

Come along for the ride as we tend to our animals, grow our crops and learn to be as self-sufficient as possible.  We work hard when we need to, and take time when we can - for the simple things!
