About Lew Potter.
The property is a lifestyle farm which produces quality beef cattle and sheep on a small scale and provides a comfortable sedentary lifestyle for the landowners and visitors. The property has transformed from a derelict dairy farm into a Landcare farm with indigenous planted gullies and fence lines for erosion control, shelterbelts and habitat. There is one major waterway running through the farm and seven significant feeder gullies.
