Levenvale Farm is a working agricultural property located in Hydes Creek, New South Wales that offers immersive, hands-on experiences focused on sustainable farming and seasonal food skills.
The farm presents a range of guided walks and practical workshops delivered by on-site practitioners including Sam and Luigi. Sam leads regenerative grazing and livestock-focused walks such as Regenerative Cattle Farming, while Luigi guides market gardening sessions that explore permaculture and biodynamic approaches. Levenvale Farm’s program includes pasture-raised poultry tours, a Guided Rainforest Trail, closed-loop composting demonstrations, and practical food-preservation classes.
Specialist sessions cover Nose to Tail Butchery with Bello Beef animals, Tallow Making for simple rendering of beef fat, and a Farm Feast — from Paddock to Plate — featuring meals prepared by on-site chefs using organic, home-grown ingredients. The Plant a Tree experience introduces tree selection, growth, and ecosystem roles, while Closed Loop Composting workshops show small- and large-scale compost systems and microbial processes.
Levenvale Farm focuses on connecting visitors to land management, sustainable food production and seasonal skills through direct observation and practical participation. Featured on The Adventure Collective, the farm offers structured opportunities for learners, food enthusiasts and visitors seeking tangible insight into regenerative practices and farm-based food craft.
