There is a myriad of seasonal activities to be seen on Avondale. Winter the seeding progams are in full swing, spring hay making, and summer grain harvest. Twice a year sheep shearing or once a year the yabbies are harvested. All part of on-going research at Avondale Research Station
In any one year there can be up to 160 different trials being conducted at Avondale. These include the development of new cereal varieties, different tillage techniques, weed control, alternative soil enhancement programs, and new ways to manage stock. There is also a chance of seeing alternative stock, for example emus, or yabbies.

Avondale is a good example of sustainable agriculture in action. Trees are being planted according to a catchment plan to reduce the ground water table and provide “highways” for native fauna, creek lines are being stablised, remnant vegetation is being protected, drainage and water collection has been thoughtfully designed to minimise erosion and where possible high water using cereal and legume varieties are included in the crop rotations.
You will be able to see, hear, smell and feel the farm whatever time of year you visit Avondale Discovery Farm.
