FARM TOUR
Breaking Paradigms
Swan River Sanctuary lies at the heart of “Riversdale Farm”, a 1,000 acre regenerative cattle farm nestled amongst the stunning East Coast wine growing region of Tasmania.
When moving into the district the local famers all said to owner, Mat Routley: “You can’t farm cattle in this area”. In reality the landscape has responded extremely well to the grazing system used for the herd of 100 Hereford cows producing fat calves annually.
Transforming Riversdale Farm into an environmentally conscious oasis, is a lifelong project for Mat and his family.
