About

My name is Ian and I manage Elata Farm in the Southern Highlands of NSW, where I raise pasture-fed lamb and beef, harvest raw honey, and make natural beeswax products.

Elata Farm began with a desire to produce high-quality, nutrient-dense food and connect local consumers with the farms that grow it. Most of the produce is enjoyed within 100 kilometres of where it is raised.

Everything I do is guided by regenerative farming principles — building healthy soils, supporting biodiversity, and raising animals in a way that respects their natural behaviours. I believe healthy land produces healthier food.

Alongside the produce from Elata Farm, I work with a small number of like-minded farmers across the Southern Highlands who share the same commitment to regenerative agriculture, animal welfare and quality. Together, this helps provide a consistent supply of pasture-raised produce while supporting other local farms like mine.

Because farming follows the seasons, availability changes throughout the year. Subscribe to the mailing list to be notified when the next round of produce becomes available.
