At Cloud 9 Farm, we work with the land and the environment to produce an array of healthy, enjoyable chemical-free produce
The First Vintage
The Farm
Cloud 9 Farm is situated beneath the picturesque Cobaw State Forest in the Macedon Ranges. The original house vineyard block was established in 2002 with 500 grapevine cuttings that matched the soil and climate, to get the optimum balance of yield and flavour without harsh chemical sprays.
The soil is worked lightly to protect the top fertile layer, and organic fertiliser used as required.
Cattle, sheep, alpacas and chickens inhabit the farm, which is not over-grazed and rested regularly. The Dexters, a naturally small, ancient Irish breed of cattle are dual-purpose – they provide enough milk for the family and for cheese-making, while the meat is tender and full of flavour. The sheep are used for their meat and fleece, and the alpacas for their fleece. Free-range chickens provide the family with plenty of eggs during the warmer months.
