Summerlea Farm is a seventh-generation family farm producing single-origin Angus beef in Northern Tasmania. Our approach to beef production is centered on regenerative farming principles. We strive to promote soil health and pasture diversity, ensuring that our cattle are raised in a way that supports rather than depletes the environment. Our decisions are guided by the understanding that farming and conservation are not mutually exclusive but can, and should, coexist.
Summerlea Farm is located within the Pipers River catchment, an area of ecological significance that provides habitat for the threatened Giant Freshwater Crayfish, a species found only in Northern Tasmania. Aware of the farm’s impact on this fragile ecosystem, we have spent the last five years working to restore and protect it. This has included regenerating riparian zones, planting over 3,000 native trees, and adopting farming practices that safeguard the waterways. These efforts contribute to improved biodiversity, soil stability, and long-term resilience of the landscape.
