About : Nomad Farms is a multi-award winning farm on Ngarrindjeri Land (Finniss Valley) on the Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia. Producing a range of pasture raised produce and botanically dyed fibre. Production methods uniquely regenerate landscapes and it is the principle of regeneration - ecologically, socially and economically - upon which Nomad Farms is based. 

The name Nomad Farms embodies the constant movement of animals across the farm which is crucial to the systems, the constant state of change of the natural systems that mimic the regeneration effort, and desire not to become a mad farm.
