Johannes Meier - From nursing people to nursing a farm environment back to life.

Johannes Meier is one of the leaders of the Danthonia Bruderhof Christian Community whose responsibility falls primarily in the realm of food production, meat and agriculture. Trained as a nurse in the US, he was destined to develop his farming skills right here in Australia a number of decades ago when he arrived at Danthonia near Inverell, in Northern NSW. The farm is a model of regenerative living and farming, and Johannes has achieved much at Danthonia, and helped the community thrive through the ups and downs of farming.

Season Sponsor: 

This season we've teamed up with Highland Beef Pastoral a grass-fed beef supply chain servicing the growing US grass-fed market.

The Highland Beef program uses an innovative model looking to change the way farmers and customers interact.

Essentially, this Australian-owned business places cattle on their member graziers’ properties at their expense and provides farmers competitive returns for every kg of beef produced, allowing them to focus on improving their businesses in a capital-free, risk-free environment.
