Who We Are
We’re Bryant, Susie, and Alex. We each share a passion for preserving the earth and working with nature, not against it. We understand the necessity for a holistic approach to agriculture and practice with the future in mind.
Bryant
Environmental Manager, Cattle Operator, General Maintenance
Bryant's journey into agriculture started as soon as he could walk on his family's property in Longreach. He has run cattle in Baralaba, Wandoan, Taroom, and Chinchilla, before moving to the Sunshine Coast in 2017.
His passions have been centred around environmental stewardship ever since he discovered the importance of Regenerative Agriculture through Resource Consulting Services (RCS) in 2003.
He has recently discovered the world of podcasts and cannot get them out of his ears.
Susie
Cattle Operations, Accounts, HR
Susie was raised on property in Chinchilla, spending much of her youth on horseback, be it polocrosse or working cattle.
She was shipped off to boarding school at 14, finding her way to the city in her 20s and 30s, travelling, sightseeing, then raising a family in Toowoomba in her 40s.
However, she always felt her heart was on the land, and so following reconnecting with Bryant in 2012, was able to continue her life with nature again.
Susie "spawned" the idea of mushroom cultivation in 2017, following a viewing of Paul Stamets' Fantastic Fungi. As they say, the rest is history...
Susie's pet peeve is when the dog dies in movies. Thankfully, no dogs died in Fantastic Fungi.
Alex
Mushroom Production, Sales & Marketing, Creative Works
Alex was raised in Toowoomba, moving to Brisbane in his mid 20s. His involvement with the farm began during his university studies when Susie and Bryant voiced their desires to go paddock-to-plate.
Alex's background is pretty unconventional for a farmer - computer science. He finds the combination of the two fields to be immensely useful, while also finding much joy in connecting with food provenance and the importance of responsibly sourced produce.
Alex spends his free time in music production, drumming, or playing piano. He's a funguy.
