Ben Heinrich, 2016. | Heidi Hodge
My family has been farming here on our Black Springs property (near Auburn) for five generations.
Together with my father Ken, who alongside his father Jack, and his father before him, we've been raising livestock on this land for over 100 years, along with wool, hay and grain crops.
Grain and hay is still a big focus for us, while Wunderbar Lamb is steadily growing, and with wool production now gone. We are proud to be offering people a great tasting product that comes with a confident choice about animal welfare.

Wunderbar Lamb was born from my desire to experiment with clean-skin, easy care sheep, (an idea many would laugh at considering we are in the heart of merino country). To my surprise, Ken agreed to give it a try.
Sadly Jack is no longer with us, but we're sure he would be very interested to see how we got on with those funny looking sheep with no wool!
My wife Kerry and I are now raising our five children here on the farm. We both feel pretty happy about being able to continue a life on the land, for our sake and for theirs, and also to be evolving what we do in ways that helps look after a future for our kids.
