Hazeldean Forest Farm has been ecologically and producing quality certified organic produce since 1986.

Hazeldean Forest Farm produce – fruits, nuts, veggies, cider & apple cider vinegar – is sold at farmers’ markets, organic retailers, and restaurants.

The property, nestled into the gentle rolling hills at the northern base of the Strzelecki Ranges, in West Gippsland, is both beautiful and productive. Our produce – fruits, nuts, veggies, cider & apple cider vinegar – is sold at farmers’ markets, organic retailers, and restaurants.

In 1986, Marg & Jason Alexandra relocated their business, the Victorian Tree Crop Nursery, to the 92-acre property. They established a demonstration tree farm to encourage others to grow trees for windbreaks, habitat, firewood, fodder, and timber production.

Now the Hazeldean Forest Farm is humming with bees and insects, birds are abundant and fruit is available all year round. This is a stark contrast to the ‘green desert’ of the original property, which was entirely pasture for dairy cows except for a few dozen cypress trees.

Design and Evolution

The transformation of the Hazeldean Forest Farm property followed designs to create integrated biodiverse and sustainable ecosystems. This was achieved by building a dam and planting windbreaks, orchards, forests.

The farm has been used for many field days, educational courses, and workshops. After three decades these plantings have created an arboretum of farm forestry with mature stands of deciduous and Australian hardwoods including Spotted Gum, European and American Oaks, Chestnuts, and Walnuts.
