Many people asked for more footage of our massive laser!
This is a 500mw Automated Hawk Laser from Bird Off, designed and built to scare off ducks and destructive birds from crops. It has changed the game on our farm!

Thankyou so much to all those who come and support us each week. It really means a lot and makes the early starts and long days worth it!

From all of us here at Petrichor Farm, we wish you a great weekend and look forward to seeing you soon!

👨‍🌾🚜 Mid-week Farm Updates 🚜👨‍🌾

Morning everyone,

We hope you’re have a great week so far!

Here’s another farm update for you all.
Firstly, our big laser has been working like a dream. Still no ducks and no other damage from bird life in the early mornings and evenings which is great. Fingers crossed that continues! 🤞

We’ve almost got all our current beds under sow again which is exciting, although we’ve had a couple of setbacks including blight setting in to the snow peas 😭, and another form of fungi affecting the leaves of the radishes. This means bed rotations so plants that are not susceptible to those types of fungi can take over that space for a while and let the spores in the soil die out. This process can take over 12 months, so requires long term planning/changes to manage, especially in such a small growing space.

The season has been a really interesting one this year and we are already looking toward the warmer weather and what this will mean for the farm and our seasonal produce. Preparation for our warm season veggies is beginning and we hope to be able to offer lots of tomatoes, zucchini, cucumber, corn, eggplant, capsicum, chilli’s, squash and more come spring and summer.

We’ve got a couple of irrigation repairs to attend to, and some new drip lines to set up on our celery bed which means the 3D printer has been going flat out building those parts. Also on the tech side of things, our first prototype of our irrigation controller is now in testing here at the farm, with the second and third revision design completed and awaiting some spare $$ to be manufactured. The second revision of our soil moisture sensor has been going strong and the iOS app for our Sonic water tank monitor has been completed (to compliment our android app) and is nearly ready to undergo field testing. Our aim for these devices is to be able to offer solutions at a much cheaper price than what already exists, solutions that work both in a small backyard with wifi and Bluetooth as well as across large distances on bigger farms using long range communication. More info to come on these as they get refined 🙂

Ofcourse though, our main aim above all else is to continue to provide our amazing community with fresh, locally grown, spray-free, chemical free, seasonal produce. We do our best every week to bring to our Sunday farmgate stall the largest range and supply of fruit and veggies we can grow here on the farm. We set up our stall every Sunday morning from 7:30am - 10:00am at the entrance to Petrichor Farm (128 Camp Mountain Road, Samford) and support purchases with cash or card.

This week we are working to offer you the choice of:
- Rocket
- Mizuna
- Mustard Lime
- Sorrel
- Spinach (lots!)
- Rainbow Chard/Silverbeet
- Golden Chard
- Salad Bowl Lettuce
- Cos Lettuce
- Bok Choy
- Giant Mustard Leaves
- Spring Onions
- Beetroot
- Tokyo Turnips
- Baby Carrots
- Snow Peas
- Corn
- Broccoli
- Cauliflower
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Potatoes (back this week! - limited)
- Herbs - Dill, Oregano, Parsley, Thyme
- Grapefruit
- Limes
- Cumquats
- Beautiful, delicious local honey from Taroma Raw Honey
- life saving coffee and amazing breakfast options from two legends, Alex and Reece Bloom And Bean.
- a hopefully sunny and not at all windy morning with a crisp view out over the mountains 🙏

Thankyou to everyone who chooses to support local farmers and farmers in general. You don’t really realise how tough it is until you do it yourself as a full time gig. There are many great farmers around this area (and across Australia) who supply all sorts of different produce and work their butts off to do so. My hat goes off to each and every one of them!

Thanks everyone, we love you all and hope you have a great rest of the week. Please come and visit us on Sunday morning, even if it’s just to say hi and enjoy the view 😁🤝

A huge thankyou to all our customers who choose to venture out early on a Sunday morning to visit us. We know it’s not easy to get out of bed on a Sunday so we really appreciate it. There’s not many other places in Brisbane where you can buy produce that has been harvested from 2am the morning of the stall, something we are very proud to be able to offer our customers.

We also provide produce deliveries to some amazing chefs and businesses on a Tuesday morning. If this is something you yourself or your business would be interested in, please reach out to us so that we can plan ahead to accommodate you.

Wishing you all a great weekend and we look forward to seeing you tomorrow morning, or sometime soon at the stall.

Ben, Lucy and the Petrichor Farm Team.

🥦🫜🌿 Wednesday Farm Updates 🌿🫜🥦

It’s been another crazy week on the farm!
So much to do, so little time 😂😅

Heaps of tarping, bed prep, seeding, and transplanting this week. We are doing our best to have every bit of our grow space either under grow or rehab. We’ve also been focusing on slightly widening our beds and narrowing our paths, so that we can absolutely maximise the available grow space. This means a bit more work, and more compost per bed flip, but it will pay off in terms of volume.

Lots more Sun this past week has made a big difference and things are really starting to grow, including the weeds 😅 Thank god our chief weeder Sally is back onboard and keeping them honest (thankyou❤️)
That being said, we are still recovering from the duck carnage (yep checked spelling 😂), which will take some time. Why can’t they eat the weeds!?
Not a single duck has dared venture near the place though, with the laser now standing guard each night! Some photos included.

We have some beautiful lettuce, Wombok, mini cabbage, kohlrabi, purple broccoli, bok choy, Pak choy, kale, and more coming along! Also, weirdly enough, many fruit trees in our orchard are flowering again, including the avocado, limes, lemons, mandarins and our first flower from our Mulberry tree! This means potentially an extra round of fruit this season which will be gladly welcomed!

We’ve also been working on some more 3D printed ventures this week including trialing a new valve and y-split design. These are working well so far and significantly simplify our drip tape connections. We’ve also smashed out some custom designs for our seed roller, specifically for Beets and Asian greens, which should provide more accurate spacing and less thinning required than what the original “factory” rollers supply.

The Suzuki is back in operation after a new carby (3k conversion if anyone’s interested 😉 ) and a new ignition coil, although still requires some tuning to get it to idle properly. She’s a bit of a rough runner for the time being 😂

Hopefully the Suzuki can join us this Sunday at the stall where we aim to have:
- Rocket
- Mizuna (limited)
- Mustard Lime
- Giant Mustard (new this week!)
- Sorrel
- Spinach
- Rainbow Chard
- Cos Lettuce (limited)
- Pak Choy (limited)
- Bok Choy (limited)
- Broccoli
- Radish
- Tokyo Turnips
- Big Beetroots!
- Snow Peas
- Basil
- Thyme
- Dill
- Parsley
- Oregano
- Grapefruit
- Macadamia nuts
- Cumquats
- Fresh local honey from just down the road at Taroma Raw Honey

NO COFFEE this week sorry! Alex from Bloom and Bean is unable to make it this Sunday, but will be back next Sunday.

Our farmgate stall is open every Sunday from 7:30am - 10:00am (or until sold out) and we accept both cash and card. All our produce is grown here on the farm and we harvest from 2am the morning of the stall to ensure you receive the freshest veggies money can buy!
Thankyou to all our amazing customers who choose to support truly local farmers. It’s a really tough gig, but nothing is more rewarding than seeing our produce being enjoyed by our beautiful local community. We love you all and truly appreciate your ongoing support.

With that, we hope to see you this coming Sunday at the stall, and until then we wish you all a great, uplifting end to the week.

Ben, Lucy and the Petrichor Farm Team.
