GOOD to EAT
Triple B Biodynamics since 2005
- ABOUT US -
Biodynamic farming is one of the most sustainable methods of agriculture, caring for the microbes, mycelium, and insect life within the soil. This makes for healthier soils which in turn leads to better-quality pastures, providing nutrient-rich feed for our cattle and supporting their overall well-being. The saying “You are what you eat” rings true, and that’s why we never use chemicals on our land or livestock.
Hi, we’re Madeleine and Liam Burns. We’ve spent our lives honing our skills and knowledge, and we’re proud to be active members of the biodynamic community, working to promote farming methods that are environmentally responsible and provide nourishing, sustainable food sources.
We look after our pastures with Biodynamic preparations and compost, all made on the farm and enriched with fish emulsion, molasses, and worm castings - all natural. Because our soil is balanced, we don’t have big weed problems. This is different from much of the beef labeled as “grassfed,” where you don’t know what herbicides are used on weeds or what chemicals are given to animals to control worms and lice.
We breed Black Angus cattle, a resilient and calm breed known for producing sturdy, early-maturing calves. Learn more about our sustainable livestock production.
Over the past 40 years we've planted thousands of native trees on our properties with help from Trees For Life, the Goolwa to Wellington Local Action Plan, and the Point Sturt Landcare Group. Our boundaries are surrounded by 15 meter wide tree lines, creating habitat for insects, birds and animals. This helps create natural diversity and balance - a goal that every farmer should aim for. As David Suzuki wrote in The Legacy, we should care for the land as Indigenous people did, with an eye toward the well-being of the next seven generations.
We are delighted that our eldest son, Patrick and his wife Lisa have joined the business and will continue the family tradition of farming at their picturesque Adelaide Hills property using biodynamic and organic practices. This will ensure a plentiful supply of the best beef all year round from their lush green pastures.
