Some newly planted Melaleuca trees today. Once grown, they provide a great barrier to shelter strong winds. We have large ones across the side of our house that do this perfectly💨 🛡 🌳 . . . . . #earthdayeveryday #greenthumb #australianativeplants #gardeningaustralia #earthfocus #bushheritageaustralia #gardeningtips #farmsindrought #droughtaustralia #allthingsagriculture #nswfarmers #aussieag #thisiscountryaustralia #storiesfromthesticks #farmersindrought #abcmyphoto #twillowfarm #drought #droughtrelief #outback #farmlife #ruralaustralia #droughtrelief #australia #aussiephotos #countryNSW #supportruralremote #HilltopsRegion #newsouthwales #CBRregion #southerntablelands https://www.instagram.com/p/CA7MSgzHnu4/?igshid=47oaij1dfyak

As you can see when you swipe back and forth the extreme heat waves and ongoing drought not only affect pasture, but our gum trees as well. Have a look at the difference between its luscious leaves prior to the drought compared to now where unfortunately has not survived😔 Climate change feels so real when you’ve personally seen and experienced major changes in the landscape and it’s environment compared to what it used to be. 🌳 . . . . . #ruralphotography #farmsindrought #droughtaustralia #allthingsagriculture #nswfarmers #aussieag #thisiscountryaustralia #storiesfromthesticks #farmersindrought #abcmyphoto #twillowfarm #drought #droughtrelief #outback #farmlife #ruralaustralia #droughtrelief #australia #aussiephotos #countryNSW #supportruralremote #southerntablelands #HilltopsRegion #newsouthwales #CBRtablelands #supportfarmers #supportruralremote #ruralaid #climatechange #climatechangeisreal #trees #gumtrees https://www.instagram.com/p/CA4syx-HST0/?igshid=hcf9iyvettrn

#tbt : THROWBACK picture from BEFORE the drought!! 😱We miss this greenery so much! The only thing that hasn’t changed is how our pup Sammy still wanders up to curious horses, trying to sniff their noses. Sam is always very sweet and careful around them- even occasionally trying to sneak in a kiss! 💛 . . . . #twillowfarm #horses #chestnutfille #chestnutmare #foals #horsestud #bluemerle #ruralphotography #farmsindrought #helpaussiefarmers #droughtaustralia #arabianstallion #allthingsagriculture #nswfarmers #aussieag #hobbyfarm #thisiscountryaustralia #storiesfromthesticks #foalsofinstagram #farmersindrought #abcmyphoto #twillowfarm #drought #droughtrelief #outback #farmlife #ruralaustralia #droughtrelief #australia #unlikelyanimalfriends #animalfriendship https://www.instagram.com/p/CAuZkycH61b/?igshid=mj1t1cxf01e1

Hay you! 🌾 🐴Swipe to see some sweetness💛 This is who many of your new donations will be going towards! These cuties are our youngest, smallest little horses who need the most nutrition at the moment due to continued effects from the drought. The hay will make them strong and give them plenty of sustenance as their paddocks have yet to grow any grass yet. They get so excited, whinnying when they spot one of us making their way up for meal time! You can contribute so much to this happiness by donating to support them through our page💛 Check it out! . . . . . #twillowfarm #horses #chestnutfille #chestnutmare #pintofille #horsestud #pintomare #ruralphotography #pintohorse #farmsindrought #details #helpaussiefarmers #droughtaustralia #foal #allthingsagriculture #nswfarmers #aussieag #donate #hobbyfarm#thisiscountryaustralia #storiesfromthesticks #farmersindrought #abcmyphoto #twillowfarm #drought #droughtrelief #outback #farmlife #ruralaustralia #droughtrelief #australia https://www.instagram.com/p/CAr2HOtnZsS/?igshid=12d126ayepb4p

Beautiful White Monarch Butterflies are finally visiting back to our little native citrus tree 🍊 The white species are so rare to see as they have a lower survival rate so when we see them we absolutely adore them🤍🦋 . . . . . #ruralphotography #monarchbutterfly #monarchbutterflies #butterflies #farmsindrought #droughtaustralia #allthingsagriculture #nswfarmers #aussieag #thisiscountryaustralia #storiesfromthesticks #farmersindrought #abcmyphoto #twillowfarm #drought #droughtrelief #outback #farmlife #ruralaustralia #droughtrelief #australia #country_features #raw_country #rsa_rural #aussiephotos #countryNSW #supportruralremote #HilltopsRegion #newsouthwales #CBRregion #naturephotography (at Southern Tablelands) https://www.instagram.com/p/CApPrmqHTpn/?igshid=18bqq4e03p4ix

Anybody else been using bathtubs as troughs?😂 This one has been useful, but doesn’t beat an actual trough- Your donations have not only given our animals food, but also for actual water troughs they all needed during the worst of the drought. They cost in the hundreds to buy, but we needed to invest in them as our dams were completely dry! Your generosity can truly make the biggest difference for our farm. Thank you to those who have donated💛 The drought continues to effect our family even now, as the financial strain from the past two years of drought does not disappear once the drought does. We truly would appreciate your continued support💛💛💛 . . . . . #ruralphotography #farmsindrought #droughtaustralia #allthingsagriculture #nswfarmers #aussieag #thisiscountryaustralia #storiesfromthesticks #farmersindrought #abcmyphoto #twillowfarm #drought #droughtrelief #outback #farmlife #ruralaustralia #droughtrelief #australia #aussiephotos #countryNSW #supportruralremote #HilltopsRegion #newsouthwales (at Southern Tablelands) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAmwyIBnZeF/?igshid=t5utjx4e6thd

Our strong Mother 💪🏼 putting in the hard yards! We bought another truck load of hay this week as unfortunately our animals still don’t have all the grass they need due to the effects of drought.

Follow along with us as we prepare for our winter garden! 🥬🥬🥬🥔🥔🥔 These are the best practices that have worked in the past for us that we would to share: 1. Mix of sheep and/or horse manure into the soil. 2. Blood and Bone mix sprinkled on top which is excellent for iron and plant growth. Mix this through! 3. Once your chosen veggies are planted, pour Seasole Seaweed Solution. This solution gives them a rapid mineral for their uptake and transplant shock for them to settle into the ground well. 4. Voila! Now we have potatoes, beetroot, snow peas, beans, cabbage, carrots, and different lettuce leaves ready to flourish! We have found this has worked so well! Have you got any tips that have helped you? What have you planted for winter? . . . . . #produce #garden #vegetablegarden #homegrown #aussiefarmersdoitbetter #aussiefarmers #gardeningaustralia #gardeningphoto #homeproduce #ruralphotography #farmsindrought #droughtaustralia #allthingsagriculture #nswfarmers #aussieag #thisiscountryaustralia #storiesfromthesticks #farmersindrought #abcmyphoto #twillowfarm #drought #droughtrelief #outback #farmlife #ruralaustralia #droughtrelief #australia #countryNSW #supportruralremote #HilltopsRegion #CBRtablelands https://www.instagram.com/p/CAe4WijHMTR/?igshid=1xopq50q747c

Meet our Stunner Stallion, Strider! A Pure Crabbet Arabian Stallion which means he descends from the pure old blood lines. His roots run deep to one farm in England, Crabbet Park Stud, that was established by Wilfred and Lady Anne Blunt in 1878. She use to import Pure Crabbet Arabian horses to England, she would pick from the best and they descended from them. These type of Stallions have a Good heart, Good Stamina and confirmation. Our boy Strider was born here in 2001 and is so loved by our family. Normally, Stallions try to nibble you to stay “I’m the boss” however Strider is an approachable horse. Strider is usually very quiet and is a leader, he’s protective of his heard and will protect them to lead them in the right places. Strider is like gold to us🤍 . . . . #stallion #arabiancrabbet #purebredarabian #TheCrabbetArabianStud #crabbetheritage #ladyanneblunt #history #horsebreeder #arabianhorse #horses #horsesofinstagram #heritage #ruralphotography #farmsindrought #droughtaustralia #allthingsagriculture #nswfarmers #aussieag #storiesfromthesticks #abcmyphoto #twillowfarm #droughtrelief #ruralaustralia #country_features #raw_country #rsa_rural #countryNSW #supportruralremote #hilltopsregion #gofundme (at Southern Tablelands) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAH3KGXHUur/?igshid=ys5uybgs8qwa

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mothers out there today! 💛 We are so lucky to have such a loving, brave, patient mother who is the front woman behind Twillow Farm. Throughout the drought she has been so persevering and full of strength.

We love our wonderful Acorn Trees! We love sitting under them for lunch on a warm Autumns day or a Spring evening barbecue. Every year we receive a huge bunch of acorns on all of the branches to make acorn flour or plant new trees with the seeds. Now this year due to the extreme heat of the drought this wasn’t the case and we sure miss it! Last year, our nieces and nephews picked all the acorns and planted them in random spots in our paddocks. They have spouted up and are now being repotted to be nurtured until they are ready to be planted in the perfect places around the house. We hope that we don’t get a repeat of no acorns from extreme dry weather next year!

Meet one of our Twillow horses Rosamaria! We named her after an Italian name because her markings on her body remind us of Italy’s country shaped boot. Rosamaria is a shy girl, she looks into your eyes to sense if it is ok to approach you but once you earn her trust she is very sweet and will warm up to you for a gentle pat 💛🤍🐴 . . . . #ruralphotography #farmsindrought #droughtaustralia #pintos #horses #allthingsagriculture #nswfarmers #aussieag #thisiscountryaustralia #storiesfromthesticks #farmersindrought #abcmyphoto #twillowfarm #drought #droughtrelief #outback #farmlife #ruralaustralia #droughtrelief #australia #country_features #raw_country #rsa_rural #aussiephotos #countryNSW #supportruralremote #HilltopsRegion #newsouthwales #CBRregion #CBRtablelands #gofundme https://www.instagram.com/p/B_y_f_mnrCB/?igshid=b3yds3fr2dfd

We have been manually feeding our sheep for so long and will continue to as we wait for the dirt and mud to evolve into grass for them to eat. We aren’t sure how long this will take, so we will keep buying their feed. They need it now more than ever to help sustain them as we are going to expect lambs to be born this winter. The financial cost is hitting our family hard and we would really appreciate your help! Even the smallest donation can add up to a big difference.
