Roebuck Farm is a true example regenerative agriculture.

The exquisite Roebuck farm is nothing short of the best example of small-scale, commercial biointensive gardening that we have seen.

Success Stories

One of the most important things you can do as a grower, whether advanced or beginner, is seeking out support and guidance from those with more experience and expertise.

I turned to Jodi for guidance in taking my growing skills to the next level and I was blown away by his professionalism, depth of knowledge and generosity with sharing.

As I start my new farming enterprise, I can clearly see how Jodi’s support and guidance has set me up for success.

Do yourself and your farm a favour - call Jodi Roebuck :)

“We were talking about how important it is to go to other farms when we start a Market Gardening business.

My advice is choose farms that are not only being sustainable but also being financial sustainable.

Coming here is setting the bar higher on my professional vision.

In the beginning of the year I was craving a mentor figure.

I have just finished the two day market garden weekend workshop with Jodi and Tanya.

I cannot recommend this course enough! It was an incredibly inspiring, informative and entertaining experience.

Jodi's wealth of knowledge and the level of detail he can go into crunching numbers and sharing his personal experiences of the many trials over decades that have failed or been successful is gold.
