Formerly Barrington River Organic Farm

Formerly Barrington River Organic Farm It is bordered by the Barrington River which flows down from the Barrington Tops - an unspoilt wilderness covering more than 1,200 sq km of land.

Nestled in the pristine foothills of the Barrington Ranges, NSW, our Biodynamic farm is 250 acres of lush pasture and fertile soil beside the Barrington River, with Devon cattle, olive trees, garlic, black walnut trees and a small orchard. The property known as “Barridge” was purchased by husband and wife Jan and Lesley Goroncy in 1999.

“We fell in love with the property because of the beautiful

Barrington River, the views over the Barrington Valley to the Bucketts and the fact that it had not seen any pesticides or herbicides. We also liked the fact that there was no home on it, as we wanted to build one using our design ideas and we wanted to be self-sufficient.”

“Our vision is that Barridge be a place of beauty, and a healthy environment for both animals and plants, where like-minded people can share all that the farm has to offer.”

The farm is located 19 km from the townships of Gloucester and Barrington and is an approximate three hour drive north of Sydney.

✨ There's Something About Gloucester... ✨

We often talk about the magic of Gloucester, but sometimes visitors say it best.

Recently, someone shared these words with us:

"I love this town with a passion – it always draws me back."

And perhaps that's exactly what makes Gloucester so special.

It's the way the morning mist settles beneath The Bucketts.
It's the fresh country air that makes you slow down.
It's the welcoming cafés, friendly smiles, scenic drives, and the feeling that you're exactly where you need to be.

As the proud NSW Silver Top Small Tourism Town 2026, we're honoured to hear stories like this from people who have discovered what locals have always known – Gloucester isn't just a place you visit, it's a place that stays with you.

Whether you came for the June Long Weekend, a Barrington Tops adventure, a country escape, or simply a chance to breathe a little deeper, thank you for choosing Gloucester.

And if you've visited before, we suspect you're already thinking about your next trip...

💚 Slow mornings
💚 Big skies
💚 Friendly faces
💚 Hidden places

There's something about Gloucester.

Just come for a few days.

Leading neurologists say Australia's chemical regulator has not engaged with expert submissions raising concerns about paraquat's links to Parkinson's disease.

The APVMA's review of paraquat has been underway since 1997 and a final decision is expected mid-year.

Australia's leading movement disorder specialists say the chemical regulator has not engaged with their concerns about paraquat, despite growing evidence linking the herbicide to Parkinson's disease.
