Guluguba Pastures

🐔🌱 Two years of Guluguba Pastures! 🥚🤍

September marks two years since this little idea of ours officially became a reality.

Two years ago, our first van pulled into the driveway carrying 300 hens from Kevin and Cara Jackson at KCRidge Farm — and Guluguba Pastures began.

Since then there have been plenty of early mornings, late nights, kilometres on the road, eggs collected, graded and packed, lessons learnt (usually the hard way!), new flocks welcomed and a whole lot of growth in between.

What started with 300 hens and an idea to produce genuinely pasture-raised eggs here on our family property has grown into something we’re incredibly proud of.

And while a lot has changed in two years, the reason we started hasn’t — good eggs, happy hens, open pastures and building something for our family right here at home.

To every customer, stockist, friend and family member who has bought a carton, shared a post, recommended our eggs or backed our little business along the way — thank you. 🤍

Two years down, and plenty more to come.

Happy birthday, Guluguba Pastures! 🐔🌱🥚

🥚✨ The first one!

Our very first egg from our new pullet flock has arrived! 🐔🤍

It might only be one little egg, but it’s a pretty exciting sight around here — the first sign that our newest girls are officially getting started.

They’ll begin slowly, with plenty of little pullet eggs to start with, but over the coming weeks we’ll see production build and egg size increase.

More Guluguba Pastures eggs are on the way! 🌱🥚

A little something different for us last week! 🐔📚

Nikki headed into Wandoan State School to chat with the Year 9/10 Economics & Business students about Guluguba Pastures — and of course, had two little helpers, Taylor and Nate, along for the ride! 🤍

We shared a bit about how Guluguba Pastures started, what goes into running and growing our little family business, how we get our eggs from the paddock to our customers, and some of the lessons we’ve learnt along the way.

It was pretty special to be able to share our story with local kids and hopefully show them that you can build something right here in our little corner of the world.

Thanks so much to Wandoan State School for having us — and to the students for listening, asking plenty of questions and making our two littlest team members feel right at home! 😂🤍

We loved it! 🐔🌱🥚

When you’re not quite tall enough for the job… you improvise 😎🥚

Chair in position, sunnies on to protect her eyes, and Taylor is learning how to candle the eggs.

Just another day of growing up in the family business — watching, learning and always keen to be involved. 🤍🐔

Delivery day 🚚🥚

On the road bright and early for another delivery day — getting our eggs from our farm to our stockists and customers.

There’s something pretty special about knowing the eggs collected and packed on our farm are heading straight onto shelves for you to enjoy. 💛

Thanks for continuing to choose local and support our little family-run farm. 🐔🌾

New flock, new chapter 🐔🌱

Our newest flock arrived last week, and this was their very first time heading outside and discovering the paddock.

There’s something pretty special about watching a new flock take those first steps onto pasture — scratching, exploring and quickly making themselves at home.

We started Guluguba Pastures in 2023 with just 300 hens, and each new flock is a little reminder of just how much has changed since those early days.

Moments like this are a reminder of how far we’ve come — and how grateful we are for everyone supporting our journey.

More eggs coming soon, raised the right way! 🥚💛

How incredible is our Guluguba night sky! ✨🌌

Last Thursday evening we were lucky enough to have some very talented photographers visit the farm to capture the Milky Way over one of the old sheds on the property.

It’s a view we probably take for granted sometimes, but seeing our farm and the night sky through someone else’s lens is pretty special.

A huge thank you for sharing these beautiful images — we can’t wait to see what else you captured! 📸

There really is something special about a clear country night in Guluguba. 💙

"Guluguba Under The Night Sky"

Hi everyone on Thursday night I was accompanied by a couple of friends that were interested in milkyway photography.
So we arrived just before the sun set to be able to check out different angles,compositions and also allowed me to explain to them what I was going to do later.
It was cool to see and feel how the atmosphere changed as the sun finally went to bed.
It was a pleasure to have been able to show them the steps I take to capture the milkyway.
I have to say a huge thankyou to Guluguba Pastures for giving us permission in allowing us to go onto their property.
If you don't know yet this family have the best free range eggs ever so if you haven't tried them yet please do so, available in alot of grocery stores. Stay tuned for more images over the following days ,including my attempt at a pano and a church..
Please feel free to like and share this post and our images with your friends and family ..

When Rural Aid asked if we could help, the answer was an easy yes. 💚🥚

This week we were proud to donate fresh Guluguba Pastures eggs to help fuel the incredible volunteers taking part in the Farm Recovery Event around Chinchilla.

These volunteers are giving their time to help farming families rebuild fences, repair infrastructure, clean up properties and tackle jobs that have been waiting far too long. The least we could do was help keep them well fed.

A huge thank you to Rural Aid and every volunteer who has rolled up their sleeves to support our local farming communities. Your generosity, hard work and willingness to lend a hand doesn’t go unnoticed.

We’re proud to play a small part in supporting the people who support our farmers.

💚 Because strong communities are built when neighbours help neighbours.

THROWBACK THURSDAY

By the early 1950s, machinery was beginning to dramatically change farming on Hillside.

A Fowler V.F single-cylinder dozer was added to the farm in 1951, followed by larger bulldozers in the years after.

In 1953, the James Bros. used two International dozers to clear scrub through the north-western side of the property.

What once took years of hand clearing and horse labour could now be achieved far more quickly.

By 1955, approximately 600 acres of Hillside had been brought under cultivation.

In 1956, contour banks also began to be constructed with assistance from the Department of Primary Industries — helping improve water management across the property.
